As supplied from Rimmers they appear to be powder coated so I am just wondering about compatibility of various products on top of the powder coating , without stripping back and starting from scratch .
The old ones were waxoyled , and have rusted anyway , so i'm thinking maybe Hammerite ?

The only way to do it properly is as Brian did them, by stripping, shotblasting and galvanising but there is a lot of work, going down that route. The new Hammerite is pants due to health and safety. I did mine with Bilt Hamner Dynax S50 (It is "self healing"), then UB Cavity wax (insides done with 360 degree lance). This can be "topped up" each year (I do mine prior to MOT in July after a pressure wash, drying/heating period as it needs to be 100% dry). You can still get to all the insides of the arms in situ using the long 360 degree lance supplied (also handy for sills).
