Someone might be able to help...rust
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

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
