Yeah, it doesn’t stick to shiny metal and you definitely want to use the metal prep.
If you have a bit of work left to do before paint then let it sit and get a bit of surface rust before you metal prep it and then paint it.

Surface rust huh?



That might take a while.

Thinking maybe I strip, prep and POR one of those shackles as a test before tackling the entire frame with a plan that may or may not work.

haha. I knew you weren't in Australia but i forgot about the bits of the US that don't get winter! Its 87% here. If i left a chassis looking that shiny it would flash rust overnight.

If you haven't used POR15 before then you should also stock up on cheap throwaway paint brushes. wear gloves and long sleeves and a hat when using it and lay down a dustsheet on the floor underneath the chassis if you don't want to stain your floor. If you have a big tin of paint then leave it open for as short a while as possible and decant into smaller disposable containers. Don't pour it, use some sort of ladle to decant it and put a sheet of cling film under the lid when you close the tin if its going to be more than a day before you re-open it.
