Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Maintenance & Servicing Best rust covering paint ?

My normal procedure is Jenolite or Fertan, Bondaprimer, then black enamel (even used Aldli black)

This is what the real Land Rover enthusiasts recommend and use. Worth a look at the website for rustproofing and paint.

Use it straightaway though. It has very poor shelf life, after 9 months mine were unusable.

As I have removed all my paint I have been using Fertan. I've been recommend it by a couple of people in the trade. Check out the Fertan site. Mention that you are in the Morgan club and you should get 10% off

Like any painting the most important thing is preparation. I Use a wire brush on a drill, angle grinder or Dremel depending upon location. I then use Jenolite if any signs of rust remain. I then use thinners to clean followed by an acid etch primer such as U pol or Halfrauds do their own.

I used different types of paint depending on location. Plasticote, Hammerite or most branded paints are good.In some areas I use stonechip paint which can be painted over.

Thanks for all the input.

Looks like my initial Hammerite thoughts have gone out of the window.

I've got a few days before I start so I'll do a bit more research on the suggestions and then get the elbow grease out for the cleaning and preparation.

Bob, a few years ago I used satin black engine paint to tidy up lots of exposed bits on the old MTW, I didn't want to go overboard with prep & remove patina

I've been surprised how well it's lasted considering how exposed some of the parts are, if this link works it was this

Unfortunately there are loads of 'one hit' products out there, all with the best of intentions I'm sure. But in my experience Jenolite always worked, but is now superseded by Fertan, a simple produce that does the job as long as you follow the instructions, ie, apply to a wet surface.
No connection with the producers, just a satisfied customer.

+ 1 for FERTAN.

A friend used it for a frame of Restauration for a BMW Dixie an a Ford A (1939 I think) convertible (15 years ago). He is still verry happy with the result

Another vote for Jenolite. I used it back in the '60's by the gallon and I think it is still good stuff. Hamerite is also very good after a good wire brushing, I have used it on the suspension parts of my Beetle to good effect.
