I don't uderstand what ACF-50 is used for, it's not a rust converter, does it creates a protective film on painted and rust free surfaces?

What about POR-15?? It's seems a good finishing and protective paint...even if is quite expensive... Matteo

Very quick answers ACF-50 actually actively attacks rust for up to 9 months leaving a protective film. Google ACF-50 own explanation for how it does this and how it was designed for electrolysis in ali planes! The protective film is not that durable out in the open so a couple of treatments per year is advised. You cannot paint over it either...

POR-15 describes a few products but I presume you are asking about the original black chassis paint that now comes in a UV protected form. This paint needs a primer or etched surface and is incredibly tough. It will cover something for life which is OK if new but I wouldn,t use it on an older chassis as you want to see what is happening underneath over the years. Rot can eat away to holes and you would not notice until it was too late...

Are we allowed to mention the Buzzweld products on here? I've seen some good results (purely online) using the RCP primer and CIO top coat on the rear cross members. James

As I say I've only seen this online, it seems big on Angry Puma FB page, relatively new products so will be interesting to see how it lasts, but tests suggest it's very good. Photos below are just pinched from Angry Pumas, but seem to give a nice finish. I've not connection just passing on for interest, and Craig Jones of Buzzweld is active and very helpful.

Four in at the moment, one is mint that I did 4-5 years ago, no rust on the body at all Shocked a rare one, just in for a Dinitrol top up... Oh and the black 110 has a glorious 3.6 V8 in it...







Keep forgetting to take pics but I took one of this last week... Very nice Cool

Mint 62 plate, 4000 miles, did this from new, back in for a top up! Lovely example for a collector if it ever came up on the market!


EDIT maybe coming up for sale, owner just doesn,t use it... Will go for a healthy price I'm sure!

Pleasure chaps, nice to meet you both and your Defenders. You both had long journeys in quite similar vehicles, unfortunately I didn,t take any decent pics of yours... More pics of past vehicles in my gallery Very Happy

This one is really nice, ex forestry, note the spot light bracket on the roof!



This one just in from the body shop, no it's not a Defender Shocked



And now this one also just in...

There's something wrong with that middle one. I don't think it has enough gauges. Darren

Reminds me of the space ship in your signature 'Anorak'!

It,s mint underneath, incredible for an old Supra, just in from Japan... No underseal in places just seam sealant...

Thanks for getting my little 90 sorted last weekend, top job.

A long way for me to travel, but well worth it.

Thanks again for all your help and advice,

Cheers

Chris
