Bodywork advice, classic car
hi,
i have a 1963 vw beetle, it has been restored but has flaws in the paint work that i would like to rectify this winter and paint the whole car as
there are some panels that are a slightly different shade and it is annoying.
my question is as you will see in the pictures that it has spider like corrosion i presume under the current paint, and also small amounts of
bubbling.
if i take it back to bare metal how do i make sure they dont come back? what products are best to use etc....
thanks for any help

I'd hazard a guess those spider like rust patches are due to poor prep, and not removing the black primer on new panels, that primer gets
chipped and scratched, and rust sets in, its often not very well applied.
I think your best course of action is back to metal, a 300 grit DAing, etch primer, flat, paint primer, paint and clear

High solids Zinc Rich primer would be very rust resistant.
Zinc content protects metal even if scratched due to galvanic action.
That is what is specified on anyting (almost) that will live offshore.
And as stated before, preparation is extremely important.

Microblisters have to be taken right back also it looks like older paint has reacted.......a lot of prep is going to be needed.
