Jim* Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Got some rust coming through on my offside rear arch it's only small but I know it's there! What are my options with this?Any advice is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Sand it down to bare metal. Put a layer of rust treatment on it before it gets re-sprayed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 This will stop it ever coming back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 as long as you get every bit of rust off the metal before applying treatment it should be good for at least another 10 years.We used some rust treatment on my mates old datsun cherry about 8 years ago and its still mint. after treatment has been applied u need to build up a few layers of primer befor you paint it.

JayJ Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I have heard a lot of good reviews about bilt hamber deox gel, but haven't used myself. It's also safe for paint work, so maybeworth a shot?

R34GTt Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I've just stripped down the rear 1/4 panel trims on mine and sprayed a load of waxoyl around the inner arches to prevent any future rust. On yours, the rust may have got between the seam where the panel is tacked to the inner arch. Best thing would be to get all the rust cut out and repaired and spray some waxoyl around the inner arches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brendonware Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I've literally just done my rear arch and it's come up mint! I sanded it down with 1200 sandpaper making it smooth and made sure I got all the rust off then left some rush treatment on it for half hour, cleaned it off, panel wiped it down then set to primering it then gloss. Just had to sand down the over spray with 2000 wet and dry. Finished with a good polish and you would never know!!Brendon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
