So many layers stacked up there and just no way to access them. Just a design flaw. Such a bugger. I don't have a van anymore so i'm dealing with similar multi-layer issues on the roof of my HX ute. sorry for slight thread hi-jack
    There didn't appear to be rust in that spot but lots in other places. I don't think we sealed it correctly. Who knows. It it's there and spreading. Will start on it once rego runs out and we finish other malachite van

    Hi Guys, I've made a decision, sold one of the kids and am paying a guy with a lot of experience and passion to fix the worst of the rust, keen now to fix the other stuff, three things i'd like to ask:
    1. Does any one know what decal number i need to stay original
    2. Is it OK to clear coat over the decals, and
    3. Does anyone have a couple of GTS guards and doors in good condition in QLD, that they are prepared to sell at a reasonable price

    1) DY2
    2) NO... Why clear coat over a solid colour?
    3) Why are you putting GTS guards on a HZ?

    Thanks Absinth,
    1. Will buy DY2- Thanks, they were my preference.
    2. I thought a clear coat would give my paint a bit more protection in Central Queensland
    3. Only now realized they didn't come with GTS Guards, youv'e saved me some money as my originals are OK, How about the doors- mine are ugly and I thought it would be much cheaper to replace them.
    Thanks for your reply- I'm loving this site.

    If your doors are rust free then repair them, good rust free doors are hard to get and not cheap. Clearing over colour won't help protect it, in fact I think there is nothing worse than seeing clear coat peeling off a bonnet or roof. Just keep the polish up to it once it has cured properly for good protection against the elements.

    i personally hate the idea of clear over solid. it makes no sense. There is binder or some clear or other shit already in solid colours. yes it may make the colour look better but 2k on old cars already looks soooo out of place that you wouldnt want it any shinier or brighter than it comes off the gun anyways imo

    That's why a number of people still want acrylic paint, for that factory finish.
