If you want to protect the bare metal the most effective treatment prior to painting is zinc phosphate tricky to apply.
spray on cover, with damp cloth for an hour or so rinse bare metal with distilled or deionized water first if possible. or slightly acidic water. zinc phosphate forms crystals sensitive to as change in Ph on the surface of substrate causes crystals to form. keep it damp so crystals can form grey to black in colour. Most body shops use wash primer rather than treatment.

They said they didn't do a bare metal respray to save money. But I still spent over 10k on all the work they did.

I can see rust coming through in 6 places

Most body shops are not familiar with zinc phosphate that's what the OEM applied prior to painting I took care of the process at a ford truck plant 30 years ago sprayed on. Ford was cheap at the time competitors used immersion systems, as spray, does not get into body cavities. Either way Zinc phosphate is cheap. I applied with Wagner sprayer
I got from hardware store worked great. Either way I became an expert at Zinc Phosphating working for the supplier.

Feels like this might be the one.
7 day auction with Boxanne.
£5k starting bid, 7.5k reserve. 9.25k buyout.

Can't really drop the price any further. A cycle of hope, disappointment and repetition. I have gone from thinking I'd make a profit, to hoping I'd break even. Then I hoped I could pay off the bank loan only. Now I realise I might be lucky to pay off 75% of it instead.

Had an interested buyer message me within 5 mins of listing

But insisted cash. Refused bank transfer. Was confused why I thought 7k cash was risky. Counterfeit risk. And a bank won't be happy with me trying to deposit that amount.

My gut said no. Feels odd, waiting 14 months for it to sell, then declining an eager buyer. Someone agreed saying that the risk is minimal if you finalise the sale in a bank but an hour round trip to finalise a sale when we could do a 2 min bank transfer? Nope.

But I have to listen to my gut.

In 2 hours its had 52 viewings. To put that in perspective, the last 30 day regularnlisting had less than 500 views.
