oldie Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi all, As the above says,I have stripped the paint off the bonnet of my KE70 and there appears to be rust on the bare metal underneath,this rust? was not visible before I stripped the paint off. What is the suggested way to deal with this before I prime and topcoat as I certainly don't want it coming through the new paint. I thought maybe spray with rust killer,let it dry,wipe away the excess and prime but I am open to better ideas if any. Thanks all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezzaclub Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I had tiny rust worms or spiderwebs under the paint when I stripped it back to metal. I treated them with some phosphoric rustkill, washed it thoroughly & dried it with a hairdryer, and then undercoated as usual. Nothing has come back yet, three years...
