Dude there's two whole pages dedicated to what to paint it with ...

general concensus is por anti rust treatment or hammerite.

Yeah i know Ben but there was a few conflicting views with the powder coating etc , Some bloke used POR15 stuff on my 1969 VW panel van a couple of years ago and now rust is re appearing  :angry:

  So good rub down and a heavy lick of hammerite it is  :smiley:    Cheers
