DANLAD Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 What is the best way to repair rusty/damaged coating on front suspension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Upgrade to widetrack :-) (assuming post '96 dedion chassis) For visible areas there are a few options:-- Strip out all the bushes and bearings and have powdercoated. I did this with my A frame and the metalastic bushes need a good press to get them out and back in. You need to ensure these bits dont get powdercoated.- clean up with emery cloth and spray with something like Simoniz satin black.- clean up and brush paint with hamerite satin black or POR-15 (read warnings about POR - it doesnt come off skin very easily!) For hidden chassis I'd use POR every time.What chassis type do you have - this may affect advice eg if early live axle the wishbones can be stripped of bushes easily and go for powdercoating!?RegardsIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANLAD Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 My car is a 1990 de dion, I will try the hammerite/ POR solution. Thanks for the advice RegardsAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
