Sean Richo Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Very rare to see rust on these I have a 2002 and not a speck of rust anywhere it's like new. Somebody may have took it near saltwater at some point in its life this usually causes premature rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 No rust on my 03 plate that I know of. Cure would be as with any rust on a car. Remove rust, treat with kurust or similar, etch prime, topcoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I thought the only cars that still go rusty are the good old Land Rovers but even they must have it sorted by now. I think that you are probably just unlucky that part of your car got missed when they did the rustproofing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russdy Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 It has been treated im just hopin it doesnt spread anymore.

39TDS Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Rust can set in on any car where the paint has been chipped. Arches and stone chips are nothing new. Treated early enough and it will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russdy Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 You know when you say remove rust do u sand/grind it down ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 this is bubbling up from inside though - it's not a chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypaint Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Probably find its had a previous paint repair there and they've not blow in properly under the arch to seal the metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linny Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Probably find its had a previous paint repair there and they've not blow in properly under the arch to seal the metal. good answer if you have not had the car from new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypaint Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 good answer if you have not had the car from new I must see at least one a week. Where previous repair has not been done properly. Everything is rushed these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
