My wife has a 2015 Defender 90 in BLACK.
At the rear, under the door, the tail coat / fender / bumper is showing signs of rust.

Looking for a WILTSHIRE paint spray recommendation please (and thankyou)

Hi, do you mean the rear crossmember or the bodywork itself?

While they have it ask them to pump some cavity wax inside the box section and treat the other side of the crossmember with some sort of protection spray. It's common to have to get a new crossmember welded on due to rust.

If you are talking about the steel work of the chassis rather than the actual body work you can get a very acceptable finish with a diy job on this as it is just a flat black. Give it a wire brush and then even a couple of coats of hammarite gives a reasonable protective finish. Or for a better protection red oxide prime and then topcoat with a satin black of your choice.
