Xmas6 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hi all - I’ve been stripping the screen frame on my ‘6 with a wire wheel on the grinder and discovered rust ‘spiders’ under seemingly sound paint! This reminded me of similar spiders found on other BL cars in the eighties - 2200 and princesses, is it just the s##t steel in use then? Any clues why these appear and suggested cures? I’ve taken it back to bare metal and slathered it with Kurust for now. Cheers Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Vincent Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I use the Bilthamber rust removal products followed by Bondaprimer. Rgds Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hi Neil, the KuRust will help if you can't dunk the whole thing or part into a tank. Like Ian I use the DeOxC from Bilthamber. I fashion a shallow bath out of polythene and immerse the frame so that the inside gets sorted also. The bottom corners of the frame are serious contenders for the annual rust award. Remember to try and slosh paint inside the frame. BondaRust primer makes a good base for a paint scheme. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
