Rust

[Guest jus]

Noticed a crack/blister in the paint on the sill of 2003 Galaxy. On inspection paint flaked off revealing a small (1 x 0.5cm) patch of rust. Is this covered by the warranty?

I have a couple of paint blisters - one up by the roof rail and one by the rear window seal.

 

Any recomendations for the best treatment product?

Take it back to clean metal, prime with a self-etching high zinc primer, then some high build primer, flat it off and spray it in.

 

It is the only way, nothing else works.

on the account of the age of ur gal it

should still be under warranty for the paint as

it's working it's way from inside to outside

if it happens agan try popping the bubble & check if water comes out if it doe's

it's a biggy job to sort as it usually happens on the seals & wheel arches

of most cars.

my advice is take it back to where you got it & get them to sort it out

i have been a paint sprayer for 25 yrs & it's the norm to sort out under warranty in this sort of case.

if you do it yourself then do the following

remove any liners under the arches

remove old sealant/body protection

clean & reusproof then make good the reapir &

replace everything you have removed but re seal all bare metal

& check it over whilst you are working on it

do the same for all arches but it's usually the rear one's that give the trouble
