What happens here

After the POR-15 base coat has been applied and allowed to cure for the recommended time (not explicitly stated, but implied by product instructions), a POR-15 Top Coat is applied. This top coat is thicker than the base coat and provides crucial UV protection. The regular POR-15 base coat is not UV stable and would fade or degrade if exposed to sunlight without this additional layer. The Top Coat ensures the long-term durability and maintains the deep black, shiny appearance of the restored frame.

Goal: Apply a UV-protective top coat to the POR-15 base coat.

as like everything else does. So Logan just knocked out the top coat. Where is it? Here. Yeah, the top coat for the UV protection because the regular Pore 15 is not UV protected. So if it sits out in the sun, it's going to fade. It's not going to be shiny. It's not going to be like deep black anymore. So she went through and did all the areas that might get sunlight once it's complete. like you know when the body's on the truck, you can kind of see the bottom of the frame rail. Uh you can see in the inner fenders or if the hood's open, you can see there like basically any of the essential viewing areas of the frame she covered because
