Are we talking rust spots or whole panels dropping off!!!
If it's rust spots only you need to rub down to bare metal, a coat of rust inhibitor and start the process of building up the area with filler, primer, paint and laquer. Twin pack factory colour spays are still available from the dealers usually on next day delevery. If there are a lot on one panel it will probably be best to do the whole lot and get a spray shop to finish it off.

Get out the dremmel and grind it all away if u leave any trace atall in less than 6 months it will b back then either get out the filler or fiberglass (depends on how big the hole is) and crack on
For a proper repair all rust must be cut away and a patch cut to size and welded in then primed, filled, painted and waxoyled on the inside..redrobbie wrote:Yeh just the small rust spots.
What about a small whole, the size of 10p with rust around it. How would you fix that?
Cheers.
