I had this door lock bolt replaced under warranty before but now it's gone rusty again:
So I removed it (it's a funny little blighter):
Don't worry the lock stays in place OK but I chose not to shut the door just in case.
Then I screwed it into a raw plug so I could hold it as I used a dremel-style tool to clean it up:
Then I fitted it back onto the car and gave it a coating of plastidip:
Hopefully it will stay rust free now.
I was a little hasty peeling the excess plastidip off so I may have another go at sealing it against moisture again if needs be.
Anyway, it certainly looks better for now
Whilst I was at it... Normally the '370Z' badge is silver but since I have a bit of a yellow and black theme going on so I sprayed the badge too:
