rust repair
hey guys,
this afternoon i was going to do some work on my wheel wells and i needed some advice about sanding.. ok, so i noticed the other day that over the winter the little "lip" thing on my rear wheel wells (not the bumper connection like usual) is starting to have a little bit of rust, so i wanted to sand down that little area and i have some rust paint to put on to stop it from spreading. My question is which grade of sandpaper do i use, or if not i have a dremel-style rotarary tool, so which type of bit would be best?
thanks
PS.. does anyone know why i'm still a trial user after like 10 days (its supposed to be 5...) and because of it, i can't even pm an admin or mod

Re: rust repair (deevin9)
It will probaly come back without treating it right but if your tryin to slow the rust use 40 grit to get the rust off then smooth it out by going up 120 grit

Re: rust repair (philly91crx)
ok thanks, its only pretty small now, so i figured that with some treatment it'll slow it down quite a bit... i wanna try and keep my car as nice as possible cuz before this it has had ZERO rust, pretty good for a 93 thats been winter driven!
