Re: [Amc-list] It's scrubbing, sanding, sanding, sanding, painting, sanding and rubbing time!

Uh, I got to ask.
How bad is this rust?
Is it surface or perforations?
Perforations will not stay pacthed with simple body filler.
It is not water proof.
If you have perforations you are going to want at the very minimum some waterproof filler.
Such as Duraglas or similar.
The correct way is to remover the rusted area and weld in new metal. Barring that being possible a thourough rust removal with sanding grinding then sealing the holes with the Duraglas and back sealing the area with an undercoat will do a satisfatory job and hold up for quite some time.
   Start in an area with the least visibility and work up. That way your best work will be in the visible areas.
