Pragmatically dealing with male colleagues attitudes, is a poor substitute for real equality. Yet, this is what we have to deal with.
Other people smoking in a car, that brings back memories. When the view from the cars’ gloom of the road ahead was obscured by that yucky yellow fog. Thankfully many people now have given up smoking.The best caliper paint I have found is by halfords very high temperature[VHT] paint. Why low cost, good results durability. They do make caliper paint too, but I have found that the VHT paint is better at keeping glossy. Duplicolor Caliper paint went dull and though it stayed on it looked naff after a couple of months.
Hope this helps

A good tip is to use a lorry tie strap to pull the arm back into line. use a trolley jack to (after removing the suspension arm inner bolt)lower and raise the suspension arm and therefore the spring leaving the shock attached. You will of course have to be careful not to let it slip. the broken spring is relatively loose once the weight is off. The new spring may mean you need to disconnect the shock to get it in. Once again I stress if you feel at all uncomfortable about doing this, get someone who knows what they are doing to do it. This can be a dangerous job if it all goes wrong, people have been fatally injured working on springs.
Be safe!

Infrared night vision driving system make the car safer to drive at night.
Leather everything or Stainless steel and carbon fiber.

Electronic gizmos like phone, internet, heads up display satnav, heated seat massage all built in.
Convertible hydraulic hard top!Not Lux

Cheep to buy.

JaneIn that case you could go down the cure rust route and bondo. Sanding out down to the rust. Paint with Cure rust. (make sure you spray inside the panel by small holes inside the arch. Spray paint inside the panel. Then fill, Undercoat, leveling, rubbing down with 230, 400, grit to smooth out the high spots. then color to match and after much wet sanding with 2000 grit. Clear coat and polish.
Should last 2 years maybe three, depending if you were able to get all the rust. Follow the instructions on the cure rust and wear protective gear as this is a strong type of acid.
SeeOne brand I use though there are many others.
