QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Q. I've been
using POR-15 Rust Preventive Paint for years. Can I use BLACKCOTE instead
and get the same rust protection?
A. No. You can use BLACKCOTE on
bare steel and get good protection, but it is not comparable to POR-15
Rust Preventive Paint, which penetrates into the pores of the metal
and chemically bonds with the surface. Use BLACKCOTE as a topcoat
OVER POR-15 to get the best possible rust protection.
Q. Come on now!
I've put Blackcote on bare steel and have gotten a terrific bond. It sure
looks as good as a POR-15 coating on bare metal or steel. Isn't is just
possible you're only trying to sell me another can of paint?
A. Absolutely not! Side-by-side panels
were tested under a variety of conditions, and the POR-15 coating
was shown to be clearly superior in preventing oxidation and corrosion.
Try it yourself and you'll see. Though BLACKCOTE will easily out-perform
other coatings on bare steel, it's greatest value and best use is as a
topcoat over POR-15 Rust Preventive Paint.
Q. How does Blackcote
work over other painted surfaces?
A. Very, very well. There are many occasions
when you want corrosion protection over a painted surface and you can't
remove the old paint. Simply clean that surface with a wax and grease remover,
then topcoat with BLACKCOTE. By the way, other colors (white, gray)
will be available in the near future.
Q. Is Blackcote
the "perfect" topcoat, or does it have drawbacks I should know about?
A. Unfortunately, nothing is perfect in
this world, not even BLACKCOTE! Like POR-15, it won't come
off your hands if you let it dry; it will harden in the can if you leave
the lid off and dip your brush directly in the can; it may occasionally
have some tiny imperfections in its finish, so we can't call it a perfect
cosmetic coating; and finally, it is certainly not inexpensive. It's very
difficult to make, and the base resins are very expensive, but we've never
let cost stop us from making the best coatings money can buy. BLACKCOTE
is one of those coatings.
