Hey there, ready for the weekend?
I have got one wing that is going to have some professional attention, however the remaining 3 are not in such a bad way, with what appears to be surface rust on the narrow fold side facing the wheel itself - nothing appears to be coming through from the other side for now at least...
As a temporary measure to clean things up I want to try smoothing down the rust, treating it then respraying that fold surface (Alpine White).
What materials should I be considering buying to do this? i.e. treat the rust and then smooth over the area prior to priming and spraying.
best

try & grind all the rust out if you can but take out the minimum of good metal, treat it with some rust eater like jenolite ,then degrese it with thinners then apply some zinc primer in a spray then you can paint it ,when the paint is hard you can flat it back with some 2000 grit paper then some cutting compound like farecla G3, then final polish
cool as the fonz!!
