Hi all. Anyone get light rust on front arches at rear bottom? I am guessing this is from stones flicked up from the wheels. Any recommendations on treatment I can do myself or professionals. I am in Maidenhead, Berkshire
 
I've got exactly the same thing. I had it reprinted by a body shop but it happened again fairly quickly. Next time I get it painted, I'm going to put helicopter tape on it to protect it.
 
thanks. appreciate the response. Good idea on the helicopter tape. I just need to find someone to do it now :)
 
Have a chat with Tyrone at Riviera, just the other side of Reading. He did some work on my last car and I was very happy with it

This happens on my 996 which is silver. Every year I paint the bottom of the arch with silver Hammerite. It's OK with a silver coloured car, or perhaps black, but I don't think other colours would match in. It's a very vulnerable spot. I see that Toyota puts helicopter tape in these spots on its cars.
