The time has come to sort out my arches on the SL. I have read with interest Malcolm's post on 'the other side' about Hammeriting the arches and using the Mini gutter trim to protect them once treated. I bought various types of this guter trim and feel it may not stay on very well. I also want a slightly wider protection than the width this will provide.
SO-
I am thinking of rubbing down the rusty areas, treating with Bilt Hamber Deox Gel, then zinc coating with BH Electrox. After that I want to apply some stone chip coating giving the rubberised orange peel finish before finally coating with top coat and clear laquer.
Questions are:
1/ Can I spray Electrox straight onto the clean, bare metal that I have used the Deox Gel on and the areas that still have paint on on the arch lip?
2/ Once the Elecrox is on, do I then spray on stonechip paint or do I need to prime over the Electrox first?
3/ Once the stonechip is on, can I go ahead and topcoat, or does this need a primer first?
Once the stonechip, topcoat, clearcoat etc are done I will treat the non visable parts of the arches with Waxoyl. (with liner removed)
Any hints, tips and advice greatly appreaciated. Thanks-Jim
