Er, if you have rusty patches under the paint then you have to repair that, you must sand the rust off and then fill it over, then paint... You can't just put a new rub strip on and hope it will go away :o | |

You can't paint the strips - they're rubber and it'll crack as soon as anything touches it. | |

Had a go at removing the side strips today.Started on the passenger side on the strip nearest to the boot.Heated it up using a propa heat gun then started to remove the strip.All went well and it came straight off.I thought great, i bet the rest is like this.But no, started heating and removing the strip on the door and at first it looked ok, paint underneath etc.But then the paint started to peel of showing a rusty brown colour and a defected curve in the paint which when run your hand over is sharp and is metal. |
