I have a couple of bubbles in the paintwork low down and one of them has been knocked off to expose alluminium.  What's the best thing to treat it with for now.  I am looking to refresh the paintwork at some point but wondering what is the best advice to treat it now.  Also some of the rivet heads have black marks streaming from them which polish off but come back and a couple have paint flaking off.

I have an orange touch up kit but don't know if this should be painted string on or should it be prepared with somthing.

Cheers for any advice on this.

I have found that if the area has become powdery white then fine wet and dry to clean area and feather an edge of the good paint then use touch up brush.

You could deoxidine the area & then etch prime with an epoxy etch

the deoxidine will eat into the corrosion...but you must wash it off fully, then dry & etch the area straightaway.

Do you know where to get the etch primer etc for ally.  I guess it's not a standard halfords item any links to buy online would be great.

Halfords sell it 2K etch, kept beside welding supplies, light metallic red can, costs 12.00 last time i got 1, probably cheaper from your paint supply shop
