ludwig113 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 isn't there a picture somewhere of the triumphs all lined up outside without paint only primer? i'm sure it happened with all car makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blubayou Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 As a kid living in Canley in the early seventies, I clearly remember lots of grey Spitfire shells outside the Tile Hill factory in Torrington Avenue. Thinking back I guess they were just in primer. Probably got a quick wipe over to get the rain off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteH Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Reminds of an 80`s "Barn Find". At a "Farm" (smallholding really) just off J3 . M3. 7 off MGB shells, just stacked on their Tail ends against the walls, Unpainted primer. The owner (of the Farm) was being paid for storing them (he said) for an MGB "club"?.

Colin Lindsay Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Paint should really only be the icing on the cake, as it were. The primer is the main rust protection and I'd like to think that it should be adequate on its' own. I've got too many Triumph parts sitting about in primer, but some have lasted almost twenty years without rust starting to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 we E coat and primed MGB and other shells for the heritage at our dunstable truck plant, should have purloined some many makers stored cars all over the place and forgot they were hiding in the undergrowth for years in farmers fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
