Rust pitting repair
I took my fender off to repair the rust bubbling. Fortunately it isn't as bad as I originally thought. I sanded it down to bare metal, and now I have 5 or 6 small spots and one HUGE spot that are not rusted through but they have left some pitting and there is still some rust that I cannot sand out of the little holes. This brings a few questions:
1. How can I remove the rust from the pits.
2. How can I fix it so the rust doesn't come back...should i just use some putty and treat it as a normal primer and paint?
...how would a professional body shop tackle this?
As you can probably tell...I am new to this.
I really don't want to sand the pits down flush and build it back up with putty. I would rather leave as much original metal in tact as I can. I guess I could go with the option of cutting it all out and fabing a piece to match...but I think it would be pointless since there is so much good metal left.
