I bought, pretty much on impulse, a B544 yesterday. It is a year 2000 with only 38000 miles on it's 2.8 engine. I love the opportunity to tinker and refurbish and, although it is in generally good condition there are some minor blemishes to attend to. The chassis has recently benefited from a service and has been given a coat of underseal and my initial inspection of it revealed that it appears to be solid. However, around the water fill cap there is the appearance of some bubbling corrosion and I want to sort this fairly quickly. I was under the impression that the body panels were aluminum. Is that correct? If so, what would be recommended for dealing with the corrosion? I understand that the paint codes from Hymer are not easily available and I was intending to spray the small area that requires attention myself. Is a good paint match available?
Other small things like corrosion on the rear view mirror supports are more easily corrected. I am a dab hand with the satin black! Really looking forward to getting to work on the Hymer and now very enthusiastic about our forthcoming trip to Scotland. I will be fitting a solar panel merely to keep the leisure batteries charged. If anyone has some advice about that, I would be grateful to have it. Thanks.
