Well I started out the day thinking I was going to sand down and smooth out some of the seam sealer i put on a couple days ago. Seems there was issues with the seam sealer not setting up properly so I removed it all off the areas and prepped it again to use a new tube of 3M that I just bought.

While I was prepping I noticed an area on the rocker that looked like it was bubbling up under the paint so I tapped on it with a screw driver and punched through a rust hole. Since the Utech paint I bought is a 2K paint that has a bladder in the aerosol can you have 24 hours to use it then it hardens in the can. This means I will need to cut out the metal area, treat the metal behind it and patch it up like all the other areas.
