In preparation for van having all 4 corners done (sadly, by someone else as I'm far too busy with work commitments), I'm searching for the best products to coat the underside of arches, valance, etc. my thoughts were to spray any welds/bare metal with zinc primer and then covering the panels with Schultz, is this good enough or do the more experienced members have their own preferences?
In addition to this, there's always going to be closures that aren't accessible once the welding has been done, I suppose it's better to plan around this by drilling discrete holes for applying dinitrol cavity wax - correct?
Have been offered a spray job for £600 (including prep), I think I may pass on this particular golden opportunity!!!!
All comments/opinions gratefully appreciated, Mitch.

Why would the glass be anything other than half full?
