Absolutely, and I guess that's why many original cars had to be rewelded onto jigs and the old rust moth sorted out.
I don't think the cars that did Le Mans had much paint on them at all. I saw a few of the Saphir cars being built by Henry Atherton in High Wycombe. He was using Zintac which Roy alluded to earlier but as far as I know, they got painted afterwards. I cannot verify what they did on panels or compartments where paint couldn't reach. I suppose we, on our cars, could spray Dinitrol or Waxoyl if it really was bothering us. On my GTD everything was painted where ever it could be, some urethane 2 part foam was used to prevent ingress of damp, and the rest was inaccessible anyway. But it never goes out to get wet anyway.
