Weekend of de rusting
« on: 10 April 2005, 18:37 »
Well my car is going in to be sprayed on the 16th April and wanted to get the car ready but got carried away a bit  :grin:

Took off the front panel and found some rust and thought i can do a bit of spraying.















Even did the spare wheel well as there was a slight rust patch around the drain hole

Looks good. How do you de-rust? Whats the process before painting when you find rust?

I just use a wire wheel on my drill to remove the loose rust then a flap wheel to sand it down. Put on some rust eater that chemicaly neutralises the rust and spray over it with anti rust primer.
