Firstly, i am not in a position to replace panels as i simply dont have the time or money to do this. I may be able to in a year or two but not yet. I have some seam rash in the usual places. I have been lucky enough to have my van garaged over the winter months and have spent time sanding down the whole van in prep for rollering. i have gone at some of the seam rash with wire brush, sanding discs etc and given all affected areas a good coating of vactan. prior to doing this the seam rash and bubbling was not too bad, but noticeable. i have done my best to get to the back of some of the seams with wire brush and vactan
what i am seeking is advice re filler/putty. Some of the areas around the seams have suffered a bit of pitting. is it ok to apply a small amount of filler, smooth then go straight over with the rustoleum or do i need some other primer/application prior to doing this
any advice greatly appreciated. in an ideal world i would replace the affected panels but i cannot afford this. to be honest the problem areas are quite small. i just want to get the van on the road for the summer as it is in mot and mechanically solid.
any advice greatly appreciated
