If being used to topcoat POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating, spray while POR-15 Rust Preventive Coating is dry to the touch with slight finger drag, normally 2 – 6 hours.

Spray surface with steady, even strokes at a distance of 6 to 10 inches. Several light coats give a better finish than one heavy coat.

POR-15 has other products that are bright aluminum for high-heat applications, and I have used those on exhaust manifolds and such and they perform... beyond great. But POR-15 doesn't yet have that available in a rattle-can. This product is between gray and bright aluminum. It is truly just "silver", and a very pretty silver, but not bright like aluminum.
I bought this as a one-step external coating to protect a fuel tank on a 30 year old Japanese mini truck I bought to protect it against further rust damage.
All I did was sand the tank down with 120 grit pads with a woodworking style plug in orbital sander to remove any loose paint and loose surface rust and scale. I blew it off after with compressed air, then started laying paint.
The coverage of this paint is excellent. Trick with POR-15 is lay it on thick. Don't be afraid, I laid this stuff in a virtual waterfall fashion on a vertical surface and didn't have a single sag problem. Make sure to coat any areas that were rusted heavily with slightly more coverage than smooth areas, this will ensure the heavier porosity of the rusted area gets sealed tight.
You want coverage to lay on wet- more coverage than a more satin or "dry spray" condition, if you don't cover it heavy and evenly so the entire part has a high gloss, the paint will have a different appearance when cured in the areas you "dry sprayed." It's just a characteristic of the paint, easy to work around as this paint doesn't develop sags easily at all.
One can was more than enough for 3 heavy coats on a tank that I'd guess has about 10 square feet of surface area, and I still have several ounces left in the can.
I allowed it to cure for one day before remounting the tank. I wasn't as careful as I could've been putting the tank back in, I bumped and scraped the new finish on several sheet metal edges and protruding bolt ends while lifting the tank back into the undercarriage.
To my surprise, there was no evidence of my carelessness. No scratches or chips, this stuff is a serious chassis paint that's extremely hard and durable like POR-15 in the brush on can, but this chassis paint won't age quickly in UV light like the brush on type.
Note: this chassis paint also won't fill pits or cover up rougher, rust damaged areas of a part like the brush on kind either. I'd recommend using both products where premium finish is desired, in my case it wasn't necessary.
I think the negative reviews about this product may have come as a result of over preparation, it's been my experience POR-15 products work and adhere better on parts that have a rougher surface, rough but free of loose paint and rust, dirt and oil of course. Over prep will diminish the adhesion of POR products.
120 grit paper leaves too rough a surface for normal paints to cover up, POR-15 eats it up. It loves sticking to parts that were sanded with very aggressive abrasive.
Worth the money! Happy many-time customer. Will use it again.
UPDATE: 8-8-16:
This paint will lift and peel immediately with gasoline exposure. Doesn't tolerate fuel spills or exposure well at all. Still a great paint for its intended purpose.

The coats went on heavy and the paint stuck and didn't move, no runs, no waves. The paint does give off fumes, take this as a warning. I painted in an attached garage and it ended up stinking up the entire house for 12 hours.
The finish was great, the paint was hard and dry in 12 hours. I'll let it cure for a week but so far it looks every bit as nice as the brush applied except no brush strokes.
