white goo?

[Dusty]

hey fella's, i've started a small patch repair on my T25 vw bus, What's the thick white/grey rubbery stuff they coat the wheel arches in?

it scrapes off if you heat it with a paint stripper, hot air not flame!
I'll need to repair the coating once the panels fixed, what can i use?

Help....

Sounds like anti-stonechip paint to me. You can buy aerosols to recoat after the repair. Or maybe good old fahioned underseal.

its like a spray on sealer ..hard to replicate perfectly

id prime it up , seam seal any joins then a heavy application of overpaintable stonechip , will look near enough for most people

Well after a bit of a surf round I've found that it's most likely to be : TECTYL 190 made by Valvoline.....
Their web site suggests that it's avaliable in spraycans in black or grey colours / 500ml
also available in pressure cans for airpower application/trade use.
SO...
Does anybody know where I can get some? as I cant find a uk distributor list on the site.
I know a motor factors in Holland near where i used to live that would have it, But thats a bit far to go.....

that just fits the description of any other overpaintable stone chip which is avail almost anywhere ...ebay /motor factors etc

no way will rattle can stuff go on so coarse , you need to shutz gun it on for a similar effect
