Sill schutz colour and paint....
Does anyone know if the original schutz, the textured stuff along the sides of the sills below the doors, is originally black, or grey?
When this is overpainted in the factory, is primer applied first, or is it just overcoated with basecoat? ta |

I was stripping some of this off an early Cowley car recently (satin black sills and a fade out to the shultz edge ) and although I didn't pay much attention, I'm sure it was grey on the inside.
As far as priming goes, I'd follow the recommendations on the product or see what your paint supplier suggests. After all, the shultz you use will probably be a completely different type to that used at the factory.

Could you have been seeing the grey primer under the top coat?
Certainly the stuff on the underside of the car looks black, I thought it was the same stuff. If I had access to a scrappy, id rub the paint off with a scourer and check! Last edited by T16; 29th March 2019 at 08:20.. |

Hmm, mine appears to be a sort of beige colour.
Anyone on the forums who knows what Rover used? Any ex-factory workers here? |

I wouldn't worry about originality so long as it works and doesn't leave holes in the sills!

This is the stuff I've used in the past to recover the sills before painting, I used the grey.

Basically this is the situation.. I have a scrape in mine, where something has scraped the underside of the sill, and put a furrow in the virginal textured coating. I was furious, as I suspect it was my fault. I cannot tolerate doing damage to any car through carelessness, so I was raging.
Under the paint its beige, and I have a ridiculous obsession with keeping this as factory as possible. Its stupid and annoying, but that's life I guess. I would like to get some of the original stuff, fire it into the scrape, then texture it with a mini roller, then over paint it with original PBT Paint. The Terotex stuff is available as black and "light", no idea if thats white or not. |

Ta.
Looks like most of the Plastisol PVC compounds have been banned. |
