On the contrary (as per their web site) it won't stick well to smooth, shiny
surfaces but will adhere well to surfaces with proper preparation
(sandblasted metal).

POR15 doesn't stick well to clean unrusted metal either. It was designed to
go over rusted metal.

If you are going to invest the time to blast it to bare metal. I would prime
it with self etching primer and top coat with enamel. If you do not want to
get in volved with spray equipment self etching primer is availble in rattle
cans at body supply houses. I have used SEM brand sucessfully and it is
compatable with most all technology top coat paints.
