Lots of people use it on floor pans, frames, axles, etc. This stuff has held up very well for me. Yes, POR15 should work very well on floor pans.

Regarding your question....I am by no means a POR15 "expert," but here is what some of the POR15 documentation says about galvanized metal. This is quoted directly from one of their info sheets: <em><strong>Non-ferrous Metal Surface Preparation</strong> <strong>Aluminum & Galvanized Metal</strong> Surface to be coated must be clean and free of grease, oil, or other foreign substances. To clean steel surface: -Mix one part POR-15 MARINE CLEAN™ with 3 parts hot water. -Spray or pour mixture on surface and scrub with brush until clean. -Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry. Once the surface is contaminant free, METAL-READY™ is the next step. Proper bonding will not take place without the use of Metal Ready. To properly etch the surface: -Spray surface with METAL-READY™ and keep wet for 20 to 30 minutes. -Rinse thoroughly with water and dry. -If a powder residue remains, rinse again with water and dry thoroughly once more. *Avoid touching or leaving fingerprints on the treated surface.</em> The above was quoted from a <a href="http://www.por15.com/Data%20Sheets/por15sum.pdf" rel="nofollow">POR15 Data Sheet</a>. POR15 is an expensive product, and it's time consuming to put on, so before you paint over your galvanized frame, you may just want to double-check with <a href="http://www.por15.com/contactus.asp" rel="nofollow">POR15 Customer Support</a> that the product is a good match for your specific surface/application. Judging by the info above, it "sounds" like POR15 will work w/ galvanized metal as long as you prep it properly...but, again, I'm no expert. :) Please send pics of your Jeep when it's done...it sounds like an awesome project that we'd all enjoy seeing. Good luck! Hey Kermit,
Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated. Regarding your question….I am by no means a POR15 “expert,” but here is what some of the POR15 documentation says about galvanized metal. This is quoted directly from one of their info sheets:

Non-ferrous Metal Surface Preparation
Aluminum & Galvanized Metal

Surface to be coated must be clean and free of grease, oil,
or other foreign substances. To clean steel surface:

-Mix one part POR-15 MARINE CLEAN™ with 3 parts
hot water.
-Spray or pour mixture on surface and scrub with brush
until clean.
-Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry.

Once the surface is contaminant free, METAL-READY™ is
the next step. Proper bonding will not take place without the
use of Metal Ready. To properly etch the surface:

-Spray surface with METAL-READY™ and keep wet for
20 to 30 minutes.
-Rinse thoroughly with water and dry.
-If a powder residue remains, rinse again with water and
dry thoroughly once more.

*Avoid touching or leaving fingerprints on the treated surface.

I have a 1976 CJ5 that I am doing a ground up frame off restoration. My Jeep is very special to me. I am fifty six years old and it was my very first new car. After eighteen years I found the owner and bought it back. My plan is to have the frame galvanized so that it never rust again. I've heard all the negative comments on galvanizing such as cost and that the heat will destroy the frame. My question concerns painting galvanized metal. I was going to paint the galvanized frame with POR15 but will POR15 stick? You have a great way of writing and I would enjoy seeing more of your articles Thank you,Kermit That was a gret post of your past experince with POR15.

My skid plate and rocker guards have remained rust free through a couple of winters now. As with any painting job, I think the key is the prep work. Make sure you get all the bubbled paint off and that the area is clean and degreased before you paint. Good luck. @b t

Your logic can't be argued, but I would think that there may be another related type of application that would give you more life than just a year.
