The idea of a forum (or so I thought) is somewhere to share thoughts, information, advice etc. Yes, you can look stuff up for yourselves and also, you can ask for peoples personal recommendations. |

Behold, the miracle that is this "Internet" machine thing enables us to buy stuff without having to leave the comfort of our armchairs. Try this one: http://www.jawel.co.uk/ Based in the Midlands. They've never let me down, and they'll mix up any colour under the spectrum and send it to you post haste. And no, I don't work for them, own any shares in them, or have a wife who is the heiress to their fortune, or anything like that... |

I see Jonolite is still made see http://www.jenolite.com/shopping_cart_j ... motive.htm Unless its changed a lot over the years, this is an excellent product if used correctly and will retard rust much better than most other off the shelf products. It even worth dabbing a bit one where you are scraped/rubbed off all visible rust. |

I really did never think of the yellow pages until metioned here  but I would never have thought of Wilco 4 sure. I think I have got used to all 2CV stuff being a little obscure that I failed to go back to basics  also I genuinely didn't know that a paint matching sevice existed   I was thinking that ordering the £30 spray can or a respay were the only options, silly me.

As it happens I did use POR15 plus the degreaser and etching spray. When I rechassised Amélie, I couldn't just leave the suspension untouched and had thought of the usual Black Smooth Hammerite. However after years of using the stuff, and it's pretty good, but it does chip a bit too much for my liking. I've used it a lot on my motorcycles for such things as the centre and side stands or the rear swinging arms, where they get a bit of blasting from road grit. Well after wire brushing off the rust and dirt from the 2CV suspension (arms, canisters, etc) I followed the advice for the metal cleaning and etching to the letter before giving everything two coats of the POR15. The first thing I noticed is that the American-made product has the most impossible lid to it's tin I've come across. After fifteen minutes of levering, I got the lid off, but it then resembled a crumpled milk bottle top. The paint flowed on really well, unlike the treacly Hammerite, and after two coats, the suspension looked like black glass. The paint in the tin formed a crust overnight and after a week had to be thrown away. However the results were excellent and I'd use it again. Is that better?
