I recommend some zinc 182 primer and black ssmoothrite. If you were closer I could lend you some ! Ian

Thanks for the tips @Niknak Would NO NONSENSE ZINC GALVANISING SPRAY PAINT SILVER 400ML be OK? Do I need a topcoat as it's gonna be hidden once the side step is put back?

Make sure you rub it down well and do a couple coats of a good zinc primer and then a topcoat

Hi, I'm wondering whether I've got any chance of getting zinc inclusion on the paintwork of my T6 covered under warranty. I noticed a handful of little, uniform lumps had appeared on various parts of my Silver T6 about a couple of months ago. I took the van to my nearest VW approved paint and...

agreed. It’s zinc inclusions. My last van had them. I took it to see a painter not connected to VW and his advice was to leave it. If you do decide to claim expect a battle. Search the sits for zinc inclusion. There is a lot of info on here. @Tourershine is the expert.

Hi All Does anyone have a view whether stainless or zinc plated bar, nuts etc. should be used? Cheers

yeah agreed on our aircooled engines I have built always used pistoneeze with high zinc content.

...we DO have a phone to call. We do ring back but often end up just leaving a message. Our main product is the base-rak (stainless steel or zinc plate) of which there are hundreds around and which are universally loved. We have never had one broken in normal use. ~These are in stock and the...

Did you notice much difference after sound deadening the arches mate?

I don't think thats rust. I believe it is called zinc inclusion. The right of the 2 is typical of that. Like a tiny mountain surrounded by lots of tiny ones lol.

...here from a thread I started on VWCC forum over rust spots on my OSR quarter panel at the wheel arch (2019 T6 Ocean). In my case I am sure it's zinc inclusion and looking at your damage I'd say its very likely the same thing. If you google it you'll see its an extremely common problem :(...

I think I’ve got a long battle on my hands regarding this paint imperfection / zinc inclusion issue. Thoroughly cleaned my T6 last week and noticed the imperfections. Thanks to the info on this forum, I looked up the zinc inclusion issue and took my van to VW Van centre (Cleckheaton ) where a...

Christ..........I'm no expert but that looks like zinc inclusion!! Mine had it......got done under warranty. Thought they'd have sorted it by now!! All I can say mate is persevere!!

Is there an advantage over just normal hammerite metal paint?

Did you put the 10mm self adhesive foam on the back of the wheel arch liners?

Did you get anywhere with vw on this one? My van is less than 2 years old, 13k miles on it and what looks very much like a zinc inclusion has appeared. Van is generally pretty well looked after and never noticed any stone chip there before, although I'm pretty sure I know what the answer from vw...

Stainless for me - it’s not going to rot and get stuck.

Thanks, I took a couple of photos this morning. Seems to only be on the sliding door.

...to live. @david173 reminded me that Vangear do a floor mounting base for a table - there is a picture on their website that shows how they are held in place - J bolts. https://www.orbitalfasteners.co.uk/products/m8-x-100-hook-bolt-nut-bright-zinc-plated So I might have a go at my own version.

The zinc based primer chemically helps prevent rust. Smooth hammerite just looks similar to body paint. If you have black hammerite a couple of thin coats will be fine. If pedantic just get an aerosol of colour mixed. In its basic form, you’re just protecting the bare metal from rust. If its...
