jonc Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I live locally to TCB. They have been part of the Celica scene for years but Trevor and his son are v active at importing from Japan in mass once they have got a container load. I always get my OEM service parts from them and he showed me his store of Supra OEM bits last year. As you have new parts I would paint them. POR seems to be the choice of classic restorers (yes the Sup is now in that category) and is very hard wearing for chassis parts. I used the old and trusted Hammerite on my 5 years ago and it has held up well on the steel arms but when I go through the suspension again I will probably use POR.

Jellybean Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I have the 3M Body Schutz, and used some ACF50 on the suspension arms when I swapped mine out ACF50 , will be an annual thing ; from the aerospace industry mainly used in the biking community Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks gents. Yes I used ACF-50 for maintenance but not for a protective coat, needs something stronger. Like the ideal of the Schutz so will try that on a test arm first. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 You can get the 3M Schutz in a 500ml aerosol but around £15 a can or you could try Tetrosyl Stonechip which is only £5 for 500ml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm just restoring my rear suspension and I'm going to use the POR system. From reading it appears most issues with POR are as a result of poor preparation. The bonus is that you can now top coat with a range of POR aerosol dispensed colours to get back to a stock finish. It's expensive but seems very durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I used POR on the brake Calipers , still as good 2 years on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
