Actually, Wurths's and POR 15 ARE the same thing. I had a can of 
each, and the back-of-can labeling that tells you all the Bad Stuff 
(like "contains isocyanates - do not breath or you will die") is 
identical. Both products seemed to be the same consistency. I used it 
all over the front frame on my car, and then painted over it with 
Rustoleum "Dark Machine Grey" and got a better match than I did with 
the original DMC repair epoxy. The original factory coating was 
actually a powdercoat process that you will never duplicate, but for 
a frame it looks pretty good. I've used the POR15 for other 
applications, including painting brake calipers, with fine results.

You may notice that isocyanates are also the active ingredients 
in "KrazyGlue". Just don't let it dry on your hands, the aren't 
kidding about it taking DAYS to wear off. Cleans up fine BEFORE it 
dries with generic hardware-store laquer thinner.
