As I've already naively painted it with "fail me instantly" gloss black, would coating over the black with Zinc It help the cause? Or is it still too obvious that I'm potentially hiding something. Think I'm gonna have to weld over some of the worst pitted spots as a starting point. Anyway, I'll take it for the WOF and see what they say. Not VTNZ though obviously. Never take my car there. Trailer no different.
