Too many “well meaning “ negative vibes can make things difficult to deal with!

I refrained from commenting throughout as I know nothing about spraying or respraying

Apologies if you thought I was aiming the comment at you, that was not the intention.

 

[Drum Major]

Also no nothing about spraying or painting what I can see it looks good onward and upward as they say

Never thought that at all

 

[Northernraider]

I would get them to paint it underneath as it's an awful job to do

I've not much confidence in them taking all the rust off it though or the ability to support the whole van with the wheels off

But on a public forum you will get all sorts of comments good and bad, that's a chance you take?

 

[bellabee]

I think it looks great!
Glad you're pleased with it.

Plenty of bits of brick rubble about hold the weight of that easy

Can’t argue with that

 

[scotzsue]

It's looking good Tam worth all that angst.
Will be good to get back to travel and dog photos too.
Oh not forgetting the teach in on break fettling.
Just read that, and no sarcasm intended but think it might have looked that way.

I agree, I often wonder why?

Personally I wouldn’t bother, it might look really good with some fresh paint over old rust but we both know that’s not the right way to do it

 

[Peavy]

I must say I like CaptainPaul positive comments

Just got back from seeing Carlos. Catching the ferry tomorrow morning. Probably see you quite soon.

No worries Steve we'll probably be in Asilah for a few days, I'm never in too much of a hurry anywhere

I would get them to paint it underneath as it's an awful job to do

I remember Dad installing central heating in a house we moved to in about 1964. He designed oil fired burners for boilers for a living. Anyway I was 13 and when this huge steel tank arrived to store the oil I was asked to climb inside and wire brush off all the rust inside and hoover it out before it could be filled with oil! Now that was a dirty job. No mask, just a boiler suit!

 

[Outdoors Dad]

I m going to be painting the chassis of my motorhome when the weather breaks. If I could get someone to do it reasonably cheap I'd use them as it's going to be a messy ball ache. My concern if I was in Morocco is what Tam thinks, that they'll just paint over any rust! I'd be happy if the Moroccans rubbed any rust down then applied a rust stabiliser then a raptor type paint! But I doubt they would.

They always used to reckon rust and dust underneath didn't matter when they used to spray with oil as it held the oil on.
There used to be some garages around here that when they changed your oil they sprayed the old stuff under your motor.

That's what I thought a spectrometer does, give you the exact mix to match up. Fiat 210 will obviously be whiter than the existing so using a spectrometer will make a near perfect match taking into account fade etc.

Yes, that is exactly how it works.

The second to last time I took my Portuguese car for an MOT the inspector said that it's quite (superficially) rusted and we should get someone to "parafinar" the underside.

Took it to the recommended guy who pulled it over his inspection pit and sprayed his oil underneath for € 20.

20 year old car, 208,000 miles. Will I bother with a more lasting cure? Probably not.

I religiously remove the angles mortes stickers as soon as I leave France so I dont end up with 3 sharp white squares. Looking at the fading on some peoples stickers makes me think they're in for an unpleasant surprise when they eventually remove them.

That's why we have the spray water then attach. Great idea
