I would get rid of the dust, rescuff everything with a scotchbrite, then I would clean everything well with a wax and greese remover.
You could probably contact your salesman for his best suggestion. |

Mark, Yep after the sanding just wiped it off and blew it off with the air compressor. Just make sure your temp is above 50 degrees, and humidity below 80%. I had to keep the garage warm with a portable heater. The finish is like a mirror, and as of now is rock solid. I did get some pin hole bubbles in the first coat here and there. But still looks great n will be covered by undercoating and carpet. Hope this helps.

POR-15 has to have a rough, clean surface to stick really well. It goes on thick and flows out well so think about using 220 grit sandpaper to scuff it up.

You might give this a try:

In response to many customer inquiries requesting a quick drying and easy-to-apply coating which enables a restorer to quickly topcoat POR-15® and other basecoats, we have developed POR-15® Self-Etching Primer.
With this product, you can even topcoat POR-15® that?s been in place for months or years.
POR-15® Self-Etching Primer is NOT a high-build primer, like POR-15?s TIECOAT PRIMER, but it can be sprayed or brushed on almost any painted surface and can be topcoated in 15 - 30 minutes. It bonds incredibly well to POR-15® Rust Preventive Paint, and all topcoats bond incredibly well to POR-15® Self-Etching Primer. It can be sanded lightly, and, if desired, multiple coats may be applied.
We strongly recommend this fine product, which we sell with our unconditional money-back guarantee of satisfaction. It is available in pints, quarts, and gallons as well as a large aerosol spray (15 ounces). In situations where you are topcoating a very old POR-15® finish, we first recommend a light sanding with any 280 to 320 grit paper. |
