Title: Stone chips and tiny areas of rust
Post by: j_s on 30 May 2005, 18:09

Hi guys

It's been a while since i've had to deal with a little bit of rust, but i've got some stone chips that have some surface rust, they are tiny though.

What's the best way to remove the rust from such small areas first before I apply the Jenolite (I think it's called) and primer?

well u could try some t cut or similar to lift the surface rust, although to be honest if there is several of them id wait and get it painted m9 otherwise it will end up look abortion with loads of dots...

I find that one of those little multi tools like a Dremel is excellent. You can pick up a cheapo copy for about £15 and that comes with all the grinding stones and discs that you'll need. It really is a great tool.

if they are just very tiny stone chips with surface rust you can get away with a mop and polish using G3 polishing compound. your local bodyshop could mop it for you on the cheap.
