Painting The Firewall With POR-15, Part 2

We waited 2 1/2 hours, then went back out to the garage to apply the second coat of POR-15. I unsealed the can and mixed the paint with my newly-fashioned dauber turned paint stick.



While Sara applied a second coat of POR-15 to the firewall, I removed the horns from the engine bay.




Sara worked meticulously to cover up the paint runs on the drive tunnel. I have to say I am very impressed with the final result!

There was some silver POR-15 left after Sara finished the firewall. I applied a little to the inner areas, but the first coat was so thick it really did not need a second. I made a purely superficial decision to paint the mounting brackets for the interior door handle and arm rests. These were not prepped or cleaned, but had enough surface rust that I thought adhesion would not be a problem.

Sara took a picture of me painting the driver side.

After we finished with the POR-15, I wanted to remove the cruise control module from the engine bay and needed a second pair of hands to do so. Sara held the top while I turned the two bolts out from underneath.

The bay is getting closer to being empty!
