The Cobel is not a bad wee mig for what it costs. They do a niffty plasma cutter that can be picked up of the bay now and again for around £350 reconditioned with guarantee

wiped off paint with thinners..

then turned up heat in workshop till sweating..
then dusted effected area with same etch primer..goods ****e..cost 150
for 5l paint + 5 l activator
waited 10mins till gone off dusted again..then layered abit thicker..
all ok..only needed to sort middle of door..
stilll dont know why it reacted...no different on that door to rest of car...prehaps i layered first coat to heavy..?

I admire your skill and dedication, I'd have scrapped it.
