Dear All,

I'm on the point of taking my Herald for her first MOT in ten years.
At the moment the front wheelarches are in body colour paint and the
rear ones are in primer. I'll like to put on something more robust.
I'm not bothered about colour - black will be fine.

What would the panel recommend? Aerosol stonechip? I have some POR
chassis black in stock

Owt really. Depends on whether it's a summer special or an all year
rounder.

Summer only - this is the second and a halfth time I have rebuilt this
car and I am NOT doing it again. However, it's a rural area with a lot
of loose chippings on less-used roads.

I would suggest rust resistant primer (e.g. Rustoleum 769) followed by black
enamal then spray with black Waxoyl (could use clear, it will go black quite
quickly) and redo the last coat every two or three years. My Humber was
done like this thirty years ago and has no rust.
