Right Motors, I have noticed a small bit of rust appear at the bottom of the back arch, aswell as bubbles on the inside of the lip the rubber cover slides over.

So time to take back the whole arch and repaint :)

My question was this - if I take back all the paint with an angle grinder, use zinc primer, red primer and then rattle can it, will it hold up?

Rust is only a small area, any tips please share :) last time I did this on my old 400 it lasted at least until I sold it, which was 6 months from repair, and no rust had come back though.

Thanks

Fair does, thanks :) I just assumed angle grinder with the brush head as it worked wonders on my subframe, but suppose that's totally different :p

Got myself a trade card at Halfrauds, so I'll attack it later on.

So coarse sandpaper to take the paint off, then medium to finish it down, then zinc primer, red primer and finish? :)
