I would be very hesitant about using POR15 on this. First, it has no UV protectant so it could change color.
CORRECT... the POR15 must be painted over unless you get the cover paint POR15. I find that the cover paints have limited colors so I use Rustoleum over the POR15 on metal to protect from or to stop rust.
I did not use POR15 on the window frames, partly because I did not have a problem after sanding the frame and painting the Rustoleum.
CORRECT... the POR15 has a consistancy almost of water and runs about as fast until it starts to cure. POR15 has its places and uses...
I'm not so sure the window frames would qualify for this type of protection.
Off topic, sort of...
I used the POR15 on a steel, weathered brush guard on my 1986 pickup truck. Before the POR15 was completely cured, about in the sticky stage, I painted the brush guard again with Rustoleum in the color of my choice... It turned out great. The bumperguard is 25 years old and looks like new... go figure.
I did the same thing on the passenger door wing window frame on the pickup, it supposed to be semi gloss black but it had weathered and began to show signs of rust. I POR15 the wing frame and just about when the POR15 was sticky I used the Rustoleum... It also looks original.
Mind that I used the POR15 ont these two items because they were soft steel, not aluminum, and needed to be sealed to stop any further rust. Further sealing with Rustoleum sealed from moisture attacking the metal and protects from UV rays...
Funny what we need to learn in these projects.
