I resprayed my Sprint this weekend and am quite pleased with the result, altough it will need some cutting back and polishing.<br>
<br>
However my spray gun dripped some paint on to the bonnet and bootlid and I now have two round spots on them.<br>
Is there a way to remove them or will I have to ...

Re: Rust

The most effective product available is called Bilt-Hamber Deox C.<br>
It will litterally eat the rust, leaving a nice, shiny surface. It will need priming however, before you can put a colour coat on.<br>

Re: One for MoreBHP

What a great car !<br>
It's good to see it's not just another VW Splitscreen Camper.<br>
The Commer certainly is much better value.<br>

Re: Absolutely not....

Why not go for a Daf 55. The coupe version is even good looking.<br>
<br>
- styling by Michelotti (just like the Dolomite)<br>
- 4 cylinder Renault engine (reliable & cheap to run) <br>
- excellent build quality<br>
- very good support from owners club<br>
- rare enough to turn heads but no so ...

Re: 55 0n

The 55 and 66 did indeed use a Renault engine. There someone in the Daf Club Belgium who put in a tuned engine of a Renault 5 Alpine Turbo and believe me, it would take a very special Dolomite to beat it.<br>
<br>
They did rust, but no more than the average 70's saloon (and less than everything that ...

Re: try here

You're quite right about the Daf.<br>
Just as the Dolomite it was styled by Michelotti.<br>
