Anybody here ever use POR-15 on their car. Its great stuff for doing chassis and underbody, lasts for ever, even covers rust(Paint Over Rust). But if you get it on your skin and it drys, it will be there for ever. Well not exactly forever, but atleast several weeks, nothing takes it of, save for removing the skin. Fun stuff, I highly recommend it.

I used that (or something very similar) before...some over sprayed on my arm and it took about a week to come off.

Paul wanted too, but I'm one of those people who like to do stuff myself and think I can actually do it better myself.
Although, I might been wrong on this one...we'll see. :D

LOL yeah we used it on my buddies truck when we put a lift on it..
I made sure i covered up everything including my hands and half of my face!
They thought i was just being a pu$$y, hahaha I showed them :P
Anyway, It's not that bad painting, i just need to get hooked up witha union company instead of this private rsidential/ builder crap i got myself into..

Painted our entire house...every square inch...myself. Weeeellllll, ok, I hired someone to do the outside, deck, master bedroom and the 2-tone in the den.
:D
Still, I did the great room myself and it has a 14 foot ceiling. I was sore for 2-weeks.

Sore for 2 weeks...lol wuss
Works the shoulders pretty good dont it?
I do that at least once a week (sometime 2-3 times) And alot of the time the celings are 16 feet or higher.... But we usually spray the ceilings so i just have to pass a roller over it to give it texture(still a pain in the ass!)
Try holding a 16 foot long fiberglass/aluminum stick with a paint roller on it over your head for like 15-20 minutes...lol

I have only done a few comercial jobs, they were mostly easy.
Lucky for me they were mostly smaller office buildings.
one did have a huge entryway, with like 30 foot walls but you could reach them from the second floor ...(i kinda think we cheated lol)
