Hey folks,
Well I’m a bit dirty. I purchased a VE white commodore wagon from a bloke in Sydney who assured me that the car has never been in any accidents or had any touch up paint applied… my first mistake was trusting him. Anyways the car is signed done and dusted- it’s mine… so…..
Since receiving the car and washing it I have an area of suspicion on the left door side at the sill area (just below the window). Is this a typical area of rust for the VE commodore…. I’m trying to work out if what I’m looking at is dodgy paint over rust that will ultimately come through again or simply overspray/ paint covering up something else. Interested in your thoughts…. The other area is along the chrome strip on the boot area….
Worst case I’ll just get the door resprayed/ a blend respray but if it’s not rust underneath I’ll simply leave it as it won’t change/ get worse.
