Disco back door blisters

Drumnagorrach · Jan 16, 2012

Having got a fairly corrosion free Disco, I would like to try and keep it that way.
The back door is the worst bit,blistered along the bottom edge,the back door on my old disco was really bad,and I don't want this to go the same way.
I understand the electrolytic reaction,I know where the water gets in,but I dont know what sort of paint / chemical that will stop it. I thought of zinc chromate,anybody had any success with that ?
Basically I want to sand down,passivate ,prime and repaint, any one got a tried and proved solution ?
There has to be a way of stopping the rot, hasn't there ?
Cheers

you need so sand it back to bare aluminium then coat it with yacht varnish let that dry for a couple of days then key it up with a scotchbrite pad then just prime and paint

i did it for a mate on his disco rear wheel arches the blisters never came back i nstill dont know if they came back or not coz the landy was nicked 4 years after i did it for all i know it could still be right now
