Stuart.

I've bought my supply of POR15 products direct from the people in Grimsby. They are great to deal with. Give them a call as they may supply a store in Ottawa. Another option if you'd like, I'd be happy to pickup an order for you and bring to either the OMVA swap meet in a few weeks or up to Ottawa for the Tulip Festival.

The only downside with buying from Canadian Tire is I found at least locally they only stock gloss black and you don't know if it's old stock.

Jacques, the POR15 should stick ok but it may only stick as well as your etch primer sticks. I've found best results is to paint direct to metal. Even when I sandblast I still do the degrease spray/rinse/dry and then spray on the metal prep etch from POR. I let it stand for the required time and then rinse again and let dry. Once it's dry I'll brush off any white powder residue and then paint the POR. If I'm top coating I prefer to use the semi gloss black. The gloss they sell really self levels to a mirror finish and I prefer ha I got a finish with a bit of an edge/surface for the tie coat primer to stick better.
