I repainted with the por-20 because I had another boiler that was being reconditioned and had some left over. The por-15 is still intact and not flaking after six months of use. The unit was sand blasted to bare metal as a prep.

Actually the hottest part of the boiler didn't get painted. The heat seems to keep the corrosion to a minimum. I painted the inside and outside of the base completely with por-15. The base still gets plenty hot. This boiler wasn't new by any means. It is one year newer than me. A 1960.

I have used POR-15 before and it is truely amazing stuff. I have no experience with the hi-temp version but I would assume it lives up to their claims. If you decide to try it, make sure you get the recommended surface-prep products.
A wire brush or grinder fitted with a wirewheel should make short work of the fly ash.
