In my continuing quest for speed I located another nice void in my bodywork, this time in the O/S front wing. The paint had started to bubble some years back. A quick poke revealed that the filler beneath was swollen. Boy, so much filler too! The stiffener behind the wheel arch is a known moisture trap. My wing had rusted to the consistency of breakfast bran flakes, and the stiffener behind is similarly corroded. Yay!
Excuse the poor photo, my not-so-smart-anymore-phone doesn't cope with bright sunlight too well.
Good thing I got hold of a NOS wing the other month, eh!
Is it normal that the top colour coat easily peels away from the primer beneath, like a thin plastic film, once you slice through it? I thought there would be greater adherence between the layers of paint?
