[Healeys] Paint flaking

[Michael Gladwin]

Thanks to those helping with my carb label question.  You learn a lot  
and fast with this forum!

New question:  My car was sprayed in 1989 in Canada.  The paint is R-M  
Dia-mont clear oat finish from BASF ('90 corvette red ((code 47))  
which is supposed to be a Colorado red equivalent).

Problem:  While the top of the car is fabulous the underside of the  
wheel arches and the chassis are flaking.  There does not seem to be  
sufficient paint to metal bonding.  This is patchy at present but has  
gotten worse over the last 5 years.  The patented, British, rust- 
preventative, chassis-oil-smearing system has avoided corrosion build  
up, but it don't look nice.

Question:  without a major re-spray how do you contain this problem in  
a tidy way.  Is there a good brush on solution.  Any source material/  
recommendations gratefully received
