## Overview

POR-15 Top Coat Safety Blue is a premium direct-to-metal oil-based paint designed for superior corrosion protection and long-lasting color retention. It applies without primer, forms a moisture-shedding barrier, and resists UV damage, making it ideal for outdoor metal surfaces requiring durable, professional-grade protection.

## Description

POR-15 Safety Blue Top Coat is a direct-to-metal (DTM) paint designed to work incredibly well in all applications where there is a need to help preserve substrates susceptible to corrosion. POR-15 Top Coat safety colors comply with OSHA required/recommended color codes for marking physical hazards and designating caution, to include protective equipment. Under exterior exposure POR-15 Top Coat has exceptional long-term sheen and color retention. POR-15 Top Coat can be applied directly to cleaned bare metal substrates or previously painted surfaces, with no need for a primer or undercoat, and is formulated to form a robust barrier that sheds moisture to provide long-lasting protection. POR-15 Top Coat provides excellent adhesion and when used over POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating, works to provide a permanent barrier to corrosion.

Review: Perfect - The POR-15 Top Coat is one of the best metal paints I’ve used. It goes directly onto metal without needing a primer and leaves a smooth, durable finish. The coverage is excellent, and a little goes a long way. What really stands out is its durability—once cured, it resists chips, scratches, and UV damage. I’ve used it on outdoor projects (frames, railings, and automotive parts), and it keeps its color and sheen even after months of sun and rain. Unlike some paints that fade or peel, this one holds up exactly as advertised. It does dry quickly, so you need to work at a steady pace to avoid brush marks. I’d recommend using a good quality brush or spray for the best results. Also, make sure the surface is clean and prepped—it adheres best that way. ✅ Pros: Direct-to-metal application, no primer needed Long-lasting sheen and color retention Excellent chip, scratch, and UV resistance Great for automotive and outdoor use ❌ Cons: Dries fast, so you have to apply quickly Strong odor during application (ventilation needed) Overall, this is a tough, reliable coating that lives up to the hype. If you’re looking for something that will protect metal and stay looking good for years, this is a solid investment.
Review: Great Paint - But Red Oxide is Pink - Expensive but worth it. The paint was thick, but spread well (maybe the can I received was old?). A small dab on the tip of your brush can be spread quite a bit giving great coverage. The 1-Quart can almost completely covered this cattle chute with one coat inside and out. I'm disappointed with the color, but not the paint itself. Based on the photo and even the can when I received it, I expected the paint to be a burgundy or maroon color. Instead, it's like a dark Pepto-bismal pink (photos of first coat application are attached). I will be the only cattle farmer in America with a pink cattle chute and I'm looking forward to the comments from my neighbors. It goes great with the barn paint that was supposed to be a dark brown but turned out a military olive drab green instead. I should have stuck with black...but, I wanted a matte finish (the other colors were gloss) and I wanted to be able to see where I had painted over the black POR-15 Rust as I was working. The chemical bond creates a coat that is extremely hard and after a cold night I could see beads of condensation on the painted surface which will help shed water and prevent additional rust progression over time. It was a relief to get this rusty cattle chute restored. A few more muted color options would be nice (in addition to the bright primary colors red, orange, lime green, and yellow). This is the first time I've used a rust preventive product on my equipment and I am impressed. It will be interesting to see how well it holds up after I run cattle through the chute the first time. Wear rubber gloves while using (it takes about a week for it to wear off of your hands). Disposable brushes were sufficient (try to pull out loose bristles in advance). Use Saran wrap to cover the lid and can when you are finished using it to prevent it from hardening up (otherwise you may never get the lid off again).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need to paint over this with the por 15 rust prevention paint or is a few coats of this stuff sufficient? going on the underside of a chevy truck**
A: POR 15 rust prevention goes on first. Top Coat provides UV protection on exposed surfaces. I doubt you'd need it on the underside if it isn't exposed to much light.

**Q: How do I apply this over por15? Can I coat this on top of por15 as additional layers(up to 4-5) or wait til the por15 sets, sand and then top coat?**
A: "Top Coat over POR-15 when dry to the touch with slight finger drag usually 2 to 6 hours. Topcoating over cured POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint or any painted surface requires lightly sanding before applying. Top Coat can take 3-4 days to reach max hardness, and longer in temperatures below 55 degrees F." - label directions

**Q: Can top coat be sanded?**
A: I'm using gloss black and when it is dry it is hard as paint. I'm sure sanding will be fine.

**Q: Can this be used below the waterline? I have aluminum pontoons and need something uv stable a couple inches above and below waterline.**
A: Yes it will work, but there are better boat paint for below the water line. I believe this product is really meant to cover POR15 which is NOT UV stable 

I've used this on my engine, and it has stayed on pretty well onto aluminum midsection...But when I redo it I'll be using a PPG paint with thinner and catalyst and spray it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Final finish for a rust repair on my car roof - these POR-15 products seem to be pretty good !
*by S***R on February 1, 2017*

I repaired a rusting area on the roof of my Ford Expedition using POR-15 patch, and then POR-15 rust preventive paint. I've reviewed both of them separately. The manufacturer indicates that the rust preventive paint is a bit UV-sensitive, and they recommend that it be covered with a couple of coats of this Top Coat. I wish they made this in smaller volumes (as they do the rust-preventive stuff) because I didn't need a lot. That aside, it seems great. I had to stir it for a while, because I could feel a lot of accumulated "gunk" at the bottom of the can. I stirred gently, because I didn't want any of the paint to spill over into the rim that forms the lid seal - several reviewers have pointed out that if you get any of this stuff into the lid seal (for example, when pouring some into another container), and then close the lid, the stuff will make such a tight bond that you can forget about opening the can again. It seemed to thicken up a tad after I'd stirred everything for a while, so then I used a cheap turkey baster to transfer a small amount of paint into a disposable plastic drinking cup (that way, I didn't get any paint into the lid seal). I also used cheap (25 cent) disposable brushes, so no clean-up was required. I'd lightly sanded the area to be painted (including the POR-15 rust preventive stuff, which was pretty much rock-hard), cleaned it and allowed it to dry in the sun. When I applied this Top Coat, the roof was warm (but not too hot to touch). The paint went on smoothly, and began to dry very quickly. I let it dry overnight, then applied a second coat (this time, no sanding). Again, went on fine. It's dried to a hard matte finish. I'll come back & edit this review if any rust re-appears. I am pretty optimistic that it won't.
