Re: Help with removing rust from bare metal (pics)
Re blast it in its entirety. It only takes on spot of unseen surface rust to ruin the paint work a few months down the road. When I was doing body work we had an 04 or 05 suburban that we repaired front end damage on. (This was probably ‘07ish) about 4-5 months after the repairs it came back with a hand print in the hood. Someone had touched the hood bare handed after it had been prepped degreased and the natural oils on their hand eventually caused rust to form and release the paint. I always want to see freshly blasted metal in epoxy or etching primer asap after blasting.
epoxy and the remaining layers of top coats should fill the rough surface left by the glass in.
