thanks......

 

Yeah, I'd just do that... maybe someone else has a better idea. But, if you aren't too experienced in doing that kind of work, you may want to get a friend or even body shop to do it for you.

you have to take it to a shop to have it sandblasted. sanding wont get rid of it, and leaves microscopic traces of it which will grow back.

the shop also needs to treat the metal with a metal conditioner and primer it with an etching primer to protect it.

 

r u sure i would have to take it to a shop, couldnt i just try really hard to make it nice. woudnt that prolong the life for a long enough anyway.

 

Sanding it will take care of it for the mean while
- but i dont think you willl be able to get it all off...with out the sand blast
- maybe someone else on this board knows some tekniques you can use to just sand it then find some kind or conditioning for it...

good luck

 

get a new fender..

 

I was going to say the same thing...kinda lookd like the rear though..
- But if its the front , i say get a new fender

 

its the rear fender.

 

they make this stuff called rust killer.get some of that stuff at an autobody supply place and grind as mutch rust as u can off and put that rust killer on it but u have let it sit for 24 hr befor priming.but if the rust gose all the way through ur gonna have to cut and weld.

 

thanks, thats the kinda thing i was hopin to hear.
