Erm, when I said the car was taken back to bare metal, I didnt mean I left it that way!!! I just wanted people to understand that the car didnt just get a "re-spray"...for the past 9 years, the car has been Ford Midnight Blue and a clear enamel (baked). (even I have to admit, that Holden blue sucks)

The only place I have noticed rust coming back is along the passenger side roof gutter, and that will be fixed when I get the body refreshed.

Anyway - pictures are on the way - I will scan them tonight, and load them in the morning
OK, I just meant that if you took it to bare metal, you would have used the latest undercoats that would prevent corrosion. As for the roof gutter that has corrosion, sand it down right away, get rid of all the rust, and repaint it with undercoat, paint, etc. Because the rest of the body has been rust proofed (I hope), the corrosion would be concentrated to the roof gutter and will be very vigorous. Stop it tonight, immediately.

Now!! I await th pic with interest.
