Jonny87 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Use a chainsaw and an elephants tusk for best results! Jusk kidding, please ignore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyvangough Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Best thing to do will be to grind the patch of rust back and then treat with rust proofing, or red oxide. Then prime and spray in matching colour, and laquer. Job jobbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyvangough Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Yea as long as you totally get rid of the rust, if it has gone deeper you will need to remove it and maybe fill it with filler to smooth it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Once the rust sets in, you'll never shift it, the only cure then is new panels. ( it will come back eventually otherwise ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
