Title: Rot 'n' Scab
Post by: ian101 on August 09, 2007, 09:46:27

No it's not a personal attack on some poor ol' soul but a search for a bit of advice on the best way to deal with that dreaded bubbling in the paint at the bottom of the doors.

Before I set to I thought if anybody has any 'top tips' on how I should deal with it, at the minute I cant afford to take it to a body shop to get done proffessionaly.

Cheers
Ian

I thought that was just a standard paintwork affect on the Disco  :lol:

i think there was a how to in one of the recent Land rover mags about this, i will see if i can dig it out.

i think the biggest problem will be sealing the ali, to prevent it any further once re painted, but i am sure someone who knows what they are on about will be along shortly.

Rember to use a acid etch primer before painting on anyware the metal becomes exposed. :)
