My frame was freshly sandblasted. if i would have known i would have just used a catalized paint. instead of a just brush it on straight out of the can paint....

Or if i would have sprayed it down with water and let it set a day or two to let it build up a layer of surface rust it would have been ok. POR stands for Paint Over Rust, which is what its designed to do. not POCM

on all my other projects i use a black acrylic enamel. havnt had any problems with the last 3 or 4 done that way.
