You have to sand the rust spots to the bare metal surface removing it ALL. If it the rust has eaten completely through the metal, you will have to rig a patch (probably would involve some slight welding if you have to patch it) then you would grind the welding spots off, bondo if there are low spots (no deeper than 1/8 of an inch), sand everything smooth, then prime and seal it and then touch up paint.
If you just touch up over the rust it wont do anything, only hide the damage for a little while, and risk worsening the rust there is and possibly spread it. This post has been edited by celicaboy04: Apr 15, 2005 - 4:13 PM -------------------- Armed? Armed with what?
