What ‘paint’ to treat old rusty panel joins?


Recommended Posts

They seemed to have missed the back panel

Must be great to get a freshly painted car back :D

Hi Steve

I think Conrad (openroad) has a later type middle bumper section for sale, here’s a link https://www.tr-register.co.uk/classified/2538/Triumph-TR6-Middle-Rear-Bumpers-

Car looks great mate.

I would not recommend the stainless steel bumpers, a set were fitted to a friend's car and he asked me to clean some dust off them -in doing the dusting I noticed that the surface scratched! I could not believe how easily this happened and I didn't put any pressure on the cloth and the cloth was a brand new microfiber cloth. I regard the quality of these bumpers as very no extremely poor compared to chrome - don't waste your money on them they just aren't worth it and I should know as I was considering buying stainless steel but no chance now it's re chroming all the way which is around the same price anyway.
