AppleJack Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Hello, I've got a 92 SC400 with some rust starting in the rear right panel (below the little fuel acces door) and I was wondering is it better to have this rust removed/painted now while it is 1 inch x 4 inch or is it better to let it go a bit and then work over a larger area which is partially corroded but not yet visible ..? might be a dumb question - but thought I'd ask ... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I have a bit of rust on my sc400 (1996) and I'm going to let it ride for now b/c I plan on repainting the whole car b/w now and next June. I know they make a primer that changes rust to black primer, but you would have to repaint that area later. You could get a dremel if it is very small and grind off the rust then use touchup paint. . .just an Idea. Mine is starting to get under the paint in front of my sun roof where a rock pecked the paint. I'm just going to wait, though, b/c I have a dent to repair as well.

AppleJack Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Okay, I see a solid concencus ..., thanks - and I'm right on it. I'll be taking it in to get it worked on - I'm expecting this to run about $300 - $400 for a proper job (max size is 1" x 5" ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
