I think the factory paint job on new parts is nowhere near tough enough - it looks like a single black finish coat straight onto on bare metal. This is what's caused all our rear ends to rust in the first place. |
Job done!
Thanks for the advice. I bought the Bilt Hamber products and have applied to the R25, touching up some other areas whilst at it (such as hatch hinges) with body paint. Not a pleasant job. Removing the wheel arch liners were a pain and should have pre-bought some of the self tapping fasteners as a screwdriver was no good to get them out. Mole grips was the tool of choice!

All the new parts were done also, the factory "finish" is dreadful, single layer of already flaking paint. |
