I’m working on cleaning up surface rust in my 91 300D. That’s documented elsewhere on this site.
The cause of issues seems to be that for whatever reason, moisture trapped in the little well where the foam clamshell that holds a vacuum pump that operates door locks lives. The clamshell was kind of stuck to the metal, paint failed, surface rust under.
The foam clamshell looks like this:
I kind of want to “seal” the bottom so this foam doesn’t hold water near the metal. Granted my repair I think is pretty robust, but I’d kind of like to “seal” the porosity on the bottom.
I was thinking maybe to just spray paint it. Not sure though. Any recommendations?
