I am a fan of POR15, big time. I used a lot of it, and their topcoats on my Camaro, and I've had zero problems, even when I didn't follow the directions on prep perfectly. The restoration on my car was completed in 2005, started in 1999, so some of this is quite old now.
Por 15 doesn't like smooth bare shiny metal, nor does it like old paint (actually it doesn't mind old paint, except if the old paint flakes off, the new por15 will come off with it). For most of the prep I used 3m paint remover disks in a die grinder. Kinda like a rock hard scotch brite pad that spins...
Strips the paint of instantly without affecting the metal much.
Sandblasting is a while 'nother level of prep. Use a good etching primer followed by a primer surface, then shoot the color.
