WIMPUS Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi, I've noticed for a while that my front inner wheel arches are becoming flacky, all the old stone chip paint is cracking and coming loose.The plan was to take it all of and to paint it over with good quality stone chip paint..But does anyone else know something else that can be used? As you all will know the car drives everyday, winter/summer, so need to be something good. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Garvey Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Hi - I can recommend Wurth gravel throw - resistant to acids etc, water wash up and paintable - spray on with a schutz gun. I bought a Wurth gun as did the Spitty - underneath, firewall, underbonnet and also 'tubbed' inside.https://eshop.wuerth.de/Comple.....1401.cgid/en/US/EUR/Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT6 1 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have just done my mine (after rust treatment and Zinc primer ) in Halfords Truck bed liner spray, it is black and gives a sort of rough sandpaper finish can then be painted over in your own body colour.Have also done my engine sump in it, looks and feels really nice. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
