Car Rust Removal

Post by kwijibo »

I don't treat my 4wd very well, and as a result, its starting to see some rust. There's a very small (50cent piece) patches where I've copped a dent and the paint is chipped - I'm guessing I can probably sand this back and spray it with primer or something.

There is one patch near the rear door latch though, which is bubbling up under the paint. I suspect a previous owner painted over it, but its now quite large and likely to crumble away if I press it too hard. I think I'm gonna try and sand it all back but before I do - any previous experience here?

I've got numerous holes (fittie cent size) scattered around the kombi where i've scraped out the rust and loose paint, whacked on some "rust converter" to the remaining rusted bits, and left for years and years. . . rust busted! Helps if you get to the rear of the rusted metal and treat it as well.

I'll give that a go on the small bits, but I reckon the big bit might be beyond that sort of treatment. Gonna have a bit of a polka dot paint job :)

When you fix the rust dont wash it.. paint job done, then you can keep that great dirt protector.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.
