Treating rust

[david106]

I've taken the side skirts of my touring and theres a little bit of surface rust near the jacking points so the question is what should i treat it with and should i just paint over it.

[e30den]

don,t paint over it [bad idea] get some bilt-hamber rust treatment and prevention stuff to stop it spreading.

[march109]

If you really want to treat it you can't go wrong with choccies and flowers.

Although If ou must pop into halfrauds and look for the paint on rust inhibitor stuff, but if the problem goes deeper, cut out and weld in fresh is the best way to go.

its looks like its only surface rust at the moment so i will sand it out and treat it

dont sand too much off as the treatment needs a little rust left to react.

[ian332isport]

so the question is what should i treat it with

[goosiegander]

ok sand back to bare metal with aluminum oxide paper, use some k-rust followed by zinc primer followed by primer and then topcoat as required

[david106]

where can i buy k-rust? is it a spray or brush on

[goosiegander]

its brush on and halfords or wilco should stock it

[david106]

cheers hopefully i will have my car on the road sometime this year so we can sort a meet out

[goosiegander]

cool stuff theres quite a few e30 over the city, i'm fixing one tomorrow

[david106]

I feel like setting mine alight at the moment lots of little jobs to do no garage and crap weather
