Someone might be able to help...rust

[AM4R]

Basically Ive got rust coming through on my car and was wondering would sanding it away and re painting it get rid of it?

Has anyone got any guide on sanding and repainting because ive actually never done anything like this before?

Cheers

Ads you dinlow. Get it treated properley matey. Once it goes it will come back :)

[Saxo_Silver]

get it done by a bodyshop mate, they will grind the rust away, use a rust treater, prime and paint it and it will look perfect :)

Yeah its a civic now, its on the rear arch and also just near the side skirt. Its quite light just bubling up now, and a bit orange so I thought I could just sand it away and paint myself, no??

Saxo's just cant rot! The metal is treated.. in years to come you may get a little bit of surface rust here and there but it wont rot so bad holes wont appear like fords.. lol. :)
