	I had two cans on vinyl paint on a shelf, forgotten for quite a while. When I moved them this had happened, the one with the Metro on the label has actually copied an abandoned british car, while the one with the made up generic car on the label is fine.

	Absolutely superb. It has to be true, especially as that Metro is silver, and any Austin Rover car of the 80s in silver seemed to rot more quickly than any other. I had a Mini 25. I know!!

	Brilliant! It reminds me of this The Isopon Maestro. It was also silver.

	It always amuses me, how one of the rustiest tins in the garage is usually a waxoil one.

	Haha, my mates Dad had a Maestro that actually had rot holes in the top of the doors, just beneath the window is a small horizontal section where the rain can sit and dissolve away.

	I remember that there was some rust protection oil that had a Mercedes W123 on the can. Well, you needed gallons of it in that case, so....
