Estate roof rails? - LewisG - 23-02-2014
My roof rails have a couple of rust patches, can they be resprayed?
RE: Estate roof rails? - Eeyore - 23-02-2014
if you sand them down so that the bubbles go away and the surface is smooth then you should have no problem respraying them. I bought a spare set of roof rails for my estate to do exactly this. I then never got round to it. Give it a go. You can always get another set.

Ye can be there ali I handed mine down and left them look good imo. Like brushed

Yeah easy to do but use a decent paint like hammerite as the metal is pretty porus
RE: Estate roof rails? - LewisG - 19-03-2014
Having trouble respraying these, the paint wont stick, its reacting, Ive tried hammerite and some other make

They arent ally so might want a red oxide primer. They are horrid things made of really shit metal

Interesting as I want to respray mine just rough them up and spray them same as the alloys

I just gave mine a light sand back and quick rattle can, seem fine.

They corrode. Not your classic tinworm red rot.
