POR 15 & Little Book

I believe that I ordered the 16-page booklet. Though brief, it was really helpful in breaking out the best steps in dealing with rust clean-up and repainting.

So far, so good. In August I stripped the trim off the 280E used an angle grinder with a wire brush and a generous coating of POR-15 on about a dozen small areas of surface rust. All the rust is still in check. In one area by the rear wheel well, I dug out a bunch of bondo to find some serious rust that had started to bubble up through the bondo and paint. I really doused this area with POR-15 to hopefully get deep into the layers of rust. I didn't have time before my daughter took the car off to college to properly refill the wound and paint. Maybe over Thanksgiving break I'll get to it.
