Por15 on brake booster

[Paul 500]

If i were to paint my Bendix booster in por15 would i be able to top coat with an aerosol paint to get a correct colour finish.

Sure, but you must use their self-etching primer in between.

Read about it & the tech sheets here:

Thanks for that

Yes as Bill stated, do everything by their directions.  If you have never used POR15 it is super slick, hard, and glossy...not a great candidate for a paintable surface...It would certainly take the paint, just wouldn't look good and would then flake off, lol.  Follow the directions and you shouldn't have trouble.

I'm sure some others will reccommend a different product, but I think it would work out, and wouldn't be hard to touch up/correct if things go bad.

FYI - if you are thinking that it will resist dot 3 brake fluid, think again!  I put that stuff on my master cylinder hoping that it would not react with brake fluid and it still does the melting thing.  Now I'm trying powder coating.  So far so good.

If you remove all the rust you won't need to use the por 15. Then just prime and paint.

if you can sandblast it you can use epoxy over it and just paint it any color u want.

Id be a bit hesitant and blasting the booster  Just use some elbow grease.

Just wrap some duct tape around threads and areas where you don't want sand to enter. Or you can use some Evaporust. It will strip rust.

You can also send it in for a rebuild. It cost me like just over a 100 or so.

Send it in to be rebuilt.  They will take it apart, sandblast it, and put in new interior components.  An outfit in Texas did mine.  They used to supply NAPA.  Can't recall the name.

Prior is the name. I had mine done for 90 bucks plus freight. Mine came back bare metal. Here is what it looked like.

Prior rebuilt mine too. I think it was $101 bucks with return shipping. Turn around time was real quick too. I was happy with them.

Prior Brake was the name I couldn't remember.  They were real nice folks.  I talked to them prior to sending mine in.  Mine came off a C-body and needed the pushrod shortened to B-body specs.  They did this for no extra money.  And mine came back bare metal like the previous post.  So you can do the finish painting yourself and do it the way you want it. 
Whatever you do, don't send it to Cardone (if they even still rebuild for individuals).  They are not user friendly and are the ones that have combined several applications so, for example, if you ordered a booster for your 69 there is no telling what you might get.  I think they call if functional equivalent.  Same with master cylinders.  Fortunately, NAPA has the correct master for 69's now and it's new (albeit, made in China, but nice nevertheless).

A1Cardone anymore is what I have heard called "spray and pray" meaning that they do a shoddy job at rebuilding, give it a quick cheapo paint job and pray that it holds up till the warranty expires.

I'd love to send it away for a rebuild but i'm in England & it'll cost an absolute fortune.

[Chatt69chgr]

Well, those boosters are very hard to find now so it might be worth it.

I had him rebuild and paint it, and it turned out nice enough.
