Rust treatment before paint?
Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2023 3:21 pm
This is about my 2009 boxster.
Driver's side sill has some surface rust locally right at the front that is grit blasted by the front tyres, leading edge of the sill and also a small area (1 cm square) right againt the rear moulding at the end of the sill which I had a go at last year. The sill generally is a bit stone chips both on the stong gard area and to the paint just below the lower edge of the door. So, all in all a bit shabby.
Want to sort the rust out asap.
I have used Kurust for years, and my pot of Kurust must be decades old(!).
Plan is to remove the end covers and remove the rust to bare metal, treat and re-paint (touch up or rattle can, or even have a local body shop fix it.
What is the current thinking to treating the bared metal areas today before re-painting?
