Title: Paint/rust
Post by: Ridgeback on August 13, 2007, 12:16:04
I have a 1988 landrover 90.
Its is in very good shape on the underside but its showing all the normal rust points round the body.

I want to get it painted when i have finished all the mods but have seen so many paint jobs on landrovers only a year or so old that have started showing rust through again. I want to do the prep myself so i know its not just had new paint over old rust.

Has anyone done this before and have any advice on the method of prep.
Did you remove all the paint our just rub down the rusty bits. how did you treat the rusty bits before painting over.
What is best on things like the doors. I was going to paint the steel frames but what about the part in contact with the door skin.

Any idea what i will pay for the re spray. Not looking for show car finish (its an old landrover) but want it looking smart and rust free.

What about things like to inside of the doors.

Its one thing putting something on the rust but what about the problem of steel door frames with Ali door skins

Just had a ganda at there site, is it really as good as it sounds.

Just strippin my s3, will be wire brushing the chassis, cant afford too much, but a few cartons of this sounds good. One question though?

Can you waxoyl over the top of it? Is it worth it?
