Hello, My problem is that the rust is just starting to appear on my 03 vespa front mudguard!
Nothing serious yet, just some small spiderwebs and bubbles starting to appear under the paint on edges and seam.
Question is... What is the best way to deal with it before it gets too bad (dont want to drop the forks and take it off to get it resprayed)
Thanks Dave

It doesn't escape out of my garage much at the moment.....2107 kilometers from new so far :bigsm:

Joking aside can it be retouched up to the standard of the factory paint job while it is still fixed to the scoot?
anyone know the code for vespa black and where to get a rattle can of it? (I do have a big bottle of G8 cutting compound :biggrin: )

once it starts you can't stop it.
Perhaps ACF50 spray used regularly might slow it down?
I had a t5 type fibreglass mudguard: quite nice but a bitch to keep the same colour as the rest as it fades quite quickly on plastic parts.
