rusty fool

make sure you have various sandapapers from rough to smooth, statr with the rough and work your way down to the smooth using water and sandpaper together to mke it easier and less dusty. With your final sanding wipe clean with plenty of solvent to remove trace of grease etc before applying any rust treatment and primer. Good luck, perfect weather for this weekends work.

you need to sand the rust off and hope you reach bare metal if its rusting from the inside out that would be a problem, your car will look a mess at the back with the patches you made but you are having it sprayed atleast you will know the rust has gone.

if the garage said it would come back in a years time i would guess it is rusting from the seam inside out and creating bubbles of rust on the surface, try using the end of a screwdriver and pressing into the material if its bad it will go through and could be rusting on the inside panel if thats the case you have a water trap and that needs to be amended. check the rust first.

you cant really go wrong, repairing bodywork is an art which takes a bit of practice, have a go after all the garage is doing the major part the spraying.

Thanks for the info. It doesnt push through with a screwdricer nor is it badly 'bubbled', Looking at it closer, its the bottom edge of the boot door, both seems on the bottom panel and a couple of other spots around the rear light's. am going to have an attempt and see what happens. It's not too bad at the minute so hopefully it wont be too major
