    Thanks for the replies people I thought Hammerite because I was thinking powder coating wouldn't last long under the car?

    Powder coat looks lovely when it is done and it is hard wearing although it does chip easily. Unfortunatly when it chips it allows corrosion and water under the finish causing the corrosion to spread and lift it off. The epoxy resin is supposed to stop that happening as it bonds to the metal better.

    Try www.rust.co.uk as they sell it. There is a full description of how it works on their site. I have used their products before and they are excellent. An alternative is POR whch can be bought from Frost Auto Restoration but it is expensive.

    So I got a call back from cobra today, it is one of my seats that have to be sent back for the sticker to be changed which is no big deal as there still in the packaging. Also spoke about swapping the seat so both will have the same weave pattern which they can't do as the seats are made to order and there isn't actually a defect. No Big deal really.
