iNath Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 As above, wouldn't be covered by warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselPig Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Get some rust cure from Halfords or a motor factor then paint and lacquer on top. In this weather wash before any of the above with clean soap free water and warm gently with hair dryer or hot air gun to remove as much moisture as posible.

btmaldon Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have started using a chip stick. So easy and much tidier looking than my painting skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambooka Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I got a touch up pen but i fear my handling skills will make it look like tip-ex :P Yeh I know what you mean took me a few attempts but its better than rust Never heard of a chip stick might be worth a look especially if its easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989jeffrey1989 Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I think i've seen an advert on t.v for the chip stick, Will have to do some research when i get the chance and weigh up my options. Cheers for the help lads (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 You can buy the coloured Turtle Wax or Colour Wax from Halfords which comes with a free chip stick. Its only a wax crayon, but will stop it rusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
