Paint types and layers

David Lawrence · 22nd August 2015, 18:13

I have been treating some light corrosion in my rear wheel arches, and have so far applied some rust convertor(the type that turns any rust spots to a hard black shiny surface)

My question is what should i do next?

I have some zinc rich primer
I have POR15
I have dinitrol underbody hardwax

Does POR need a primer as the tin suggests not, and should I apply a zinc primer over the rust convertor?

Basic stuff For some I am sure, but chemistry was never one of my strong points.

Never useddinitrol or por15, but would use a zinc primer on the converted rust or Waxoyle instead of the zinc.

POR 15 over the rust convertor. When that is fully dry, spray the Dinitrol wax over it!
