There is evidence of corrosion where the factory paint has lifted. Funnily enough, the paint on the other Victa (same deck shape) is holding up well except for the odd bit of wear' it is dark green. Maybe Victa got cheap with this hammer type paint and it does look the cats when new.
Although I see that hammerite is promoted as not needing any base coat.
I have P10 etch prime here, it is the local equivalent of PA10 and works well. My hot rodding mate uses the POR15 I'll look into it.
POR15 as the etch primer and any top coat or does it require a specific paint system? Better still if it can it be used as a stand alone.

Any top coat.
POR 15 is a furane resin and reacts with both water and carbon dioxide so is as tough as nails.
However it is not UV stable so needs a top coat.
Any top coat will do.

I use only Royal Purple for all my Hondas. 30 wt in spring Summer and 10w 30 in the fall.winter. Also I have never had a engine problem.
It is easy to see the oul on the stick because of color. And it is Synthetic.
