Hi everyone,
I have recently purchased a 1998 Ford Escort. The bodywork is in good condition - immaculate, in fact - apart from the metal 'skirt' (sorry for the technical term :-) ) which hangs down from the sills along the length of the vehicle. Hope you know what I mean :-)
These are quite badly rusted and shards of metal are coming away at various points along the length on both sides. I'm not sure how best to treat this in order to prevent or retard further corrosion. It isn't rusted through at any point on either side.
I have Hammerite KURust and was wondering about sanding the metal down and painting it with this. Or simply sanding, priming and re-painting.
Any ideas that people have would be most welcome.
Thanks
Evan
