please share any and all info you have. My garage is attached however, back door for venting comes in handy. Can always add heater if need be

I think you'd want it a bit warmer than 10, but I've never used POR15 on any of my cars, although I helped a buddy with it in the heat of the summer. I have used Chassis Saver, which is a competitive product available at Metro Paint Supplies. I believe you want room temperature for that.

sooooooooooooo in your (expert) opinion POR15 may not be warranted?

[kilrwail]

No, no - I'm no saying that. I just wanted to mention the other product, because it's the only one I have used. And I know it needs warmer temperatures. Neither one is inexpensive, if that's a concern. BTW the first ICCO (http://www.italiancarclubottawa.ca/ICCOindex.shtml) event will be April 30 at the Pub Italia.

On Por15's Spec Sheet:

WHAT TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY CAN I APPLY POR-15 IN ?
POR-15 should be applied in temperatures of 50-90oF degrees
(10-38oC) and humidity under 80%

Nothing better than finding a supplier 10min away from my house and getting better than posted prices

My '71 Coupe had the nerve to start straight away on half-choke, after sitting un-unused for four months, with half a tank of petrol, no trickle charger, no cover and no particular preparation to put it away. Settled into a flat idle immediately and was ready to drive away after about 30 seconds. Brakes were flawless, suspension was supple, no flat spots on acceleration. Just the lovely gulp of twin Webers; something about that crisp spring air...

I still don't understand the whole "Italian cars are unreliable" vibe.
