Use a rust converter first, then a Zinc primer + get some colour to match existing top coat - yours will also be a metalic 'maroon' from memory ...

Make sure to lubricate your hinges !
Well I used some "rust converter and primer" on some parts of my wagon, has the same chemical but is also a water based paint that sets clear...that must have been nearly 2 years ago. Most of it flaked off in the first year and it started rusting again. One or two parts on my front guards are still protected and no new rust to be seen. It could also depend on the product you use i.e how deep it gets into the flakes. The stuff I used wouldn't have gone very deep since it was thick and gloopy.GunFactory wrote: Anyone have any idea how long rust converter lasts? how long is the rust rendered inert?
I found some metallic red which matches quite well. Your right though its so far down you cant see it at all!El_Freddo wrote: With that area I wouldn't be too concerned with colour matching - a black paint would do the job!

I had a custom cat back exhaust done on Ruby Scoo - $450, but I didn't have time to shop around for a good price, I simply walked in and in the next day or two dropped the car off for them to do the work in a day. I'm still very happy with the work and "most importantly" the note
