Well, for my '73 GT6, I went to Home Depot and got some of that
High-Temp heat paint that you use to paint BBQ grills with. I also used
it on the underside of my hood, and my engine block. If anything else,
it keeps a crude uniform color to all parts of the car that aren't
really noticeable (well, the engine is, I suppose). It repels grease
and tar rather nicely, so a good spray will get all that off. The stuff
is extremely durable, relatively cheap, and will stand up to a hard
scrubbing, if you choose to do so in the future. As for the rust
situation, I would recommend Naval Jelly, but as Mr. Dudly reminded us,
it is usually a painstaking wait.
Those are my suggestions

Hello Everyone,
At the risk of sounding rather self centred, I must say that I am very
glad
that Tony saw fit to ask the guru's of the net for advice on painting
the
nether regions of his Triumph, otherwise I would have still been
unaware
of the Morgan Web page John Blair drew to attention.
What a fantastic web site!
I have book marked it and will certainly be able to make use of the
extensive and convenient info thereon.
One disappointment, the link to the "must Read" information on Drills,
Taps
etc appears to be dead. Perhaps someone more literate than me in these
matters might be able to sort that out.
Thanks to John, for the link to the web site and Tony for the question
which paved the way!
