if you want to DIY, sand down through the rust to bare metal, smooth all edges. primer and paint

Yeah, and hopefully you'll know what you're doing cuz if not you'll wish you had the rust spots back

 

oh its not that bad. after sanding i had to drive around with everything primered except the hood. after swearing never to do it, i drove around like a true ricer. i had to have some one weld in some new corners though, it was uber bad.

approx how big are the spots in diamater?

 

rust spots...about 2-3 inches. but i have alot of small spots on the hood due to little rocks. also the inner front-driver fender. thats about it.

 

1. Sand the rust away.
2. Get this stuff called Bondo and begin to create the solution as directed on the box
3. Apply to car in shape you want (over do it if anything, you can sand the excess off)
4. Paint over
5. Car will be restored to original shape

Ive used this stuff before, works great.
