Re: [Chrysler300] Rust treatment

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike@xxxx>]

Jonathan,
They make a cute little thing called a "spot blaster" that is about the 
size of a paint gun. It works like a little sand blaster, has a rubber cup 
on it that is placed against the rusty spot to keep the sand from blowing 
around, the sand is captured in a little cloth bag after it hits the 
rust.Great little tool for localised rusty spots. Most paint stores have 
products you can use to pickle the rust to stop it and prep the spot for 
paint. If you spray primer on a car you are driving be sure to top coat it 
with some kind of paint to seal the surface, primer will absorb water if it 
is left bare.
