What I Did To My Saab Today.

[sgould]

I finished treating the rust on the wheel arch, and painted it.  I tried the Saab touch-up as it's a smallish area but the colour match was poor.  So I tried with some spray paint I bought from "Paints4u" to spray the roof spoiler... in 2016!!  It still worked and the colour match was very good

While on the subject of "paint", I was close up to the rear wheel and saw evidence of why I don't like most powder coating. If a proper primer is not used under the powder, it chips off.  When I was working, we powder coated a lot of iron fittings and used many others.  The proper primed ones were fine, but the unprimed stuff we used, rarely survived manhandling on site without damage.

Perhaps wheels should be properly painted rather than powder coated?
