Hey guys, i just bought this G35 and it had some rust on the fender, really tiny. Its maybe a little bigger than a needle head, but its rusted now. What should i do?

I was thinking of scratching out the rust and using some clear nail polish? But this is a ghetto fix, what is a legit one without having to paint it. Hows the OEM paint fill ins work?

And should i scrape off the rust? Yes right?

 

I think it should still be under the OEM power train rust warranty?

First. Don't use clear nail polish. It will NOT work. Did that. Done that on my 1978 Buick Regal when I was in HS.

Size of a needle head? Could it be a metal shaving stuck in there?

Two suggestions:

1. Wax over it. Maybe it'll just stop there. (does not sound like it will work since you mention it's rust, and not a paint chip down to the base).

2. Got touch up paint. Many dealer sell touch ups that have a brush on one end and a pen tip on the other. It may not look perfect, but at least cover up the spot from it getting worst.

 

I read that rust unless you have something th counteract it, will get worst over time!

Do dealer touch up paint come with this built on? I Know some paint from like home depot does...

- Rust is like Cancer. You can hope it'll stop. Nearly all of the time, it will spread and make good surfaces bad. Something need to be done to stop it.

- The paint I got from Ford have both ends. The paint I got from GM only have the brush. The paint I got from Honda, only have a brush. So you'll have to find out who sells what, and where.

 

i havd the same problem. so thanks for the advice and also some deep chips that went down to the metal and i wana get at them before they to rust

 

If its a paint chip that has rusted, its not a big deal. Use the corner edge of a razor blade to scrape the rust off and clean up the edges of the chip. Use touch up paint (I reccomend Duplicolor) to fill it, and clear Duplicolor t/u on top of that. Wetsand lightly after it dries and buff to a nice shine. Its not as good as prep and paint for the whole panel, but this is what I do at work and it meets our 5ft standards.

Nice.

I'll give that a shot, where could i buy that duplicolor stuff at?

 

Autozone is pretty good at keeping a full rack. Wal Mart has been a backup source for me. Some dealer touch up kits have both base and a clear top coat. You can still wetsand and buff without a clear top layer if you have a hard time finding one.
