Hi All,

I've finally started to splash a bit of paint about.

I'm in the middle of respraying the inside of my drivers door and the replacement skin I got after Christmas and was wondering if I should use some seam sealer when it goes back together or if I should give a good dose of fish oil or the like.

Ian

Location: North of the Harbour planning my next mini project
When I fitted my new door skin I ran a bead of seam sealer around the edge in the join between the door skin and the door frame
I hope this will seal the water out plus it will assist with bonding the skin to the door
But I will still be spraying a lot of waxoil in the bottom of all panels

Hi Micheal,

That's what I'm going to do, can't have too much rust proofing.
