unfortunatly lanxter paper is the only way. Using a grinder could end up causing more trouble and more holes! Sometimes if the rust patch is only surface then an electrical orbital sander will do the trick, otherways, its just braun n patience! As for covering buy yourself a spray can from halfords of any colour. Try not to use primer because primer is porus and will let the water through.
it may b small but it purfectly formed

I found a thing called a Monti (sp?) brush works well. Fits in an electric drill. There's one with angled bristles that cleans or polishes depending which direction you run it.

2 ways i use no1 is wire wheel on a drill and no2 is you can get wire wheels which fit onto your angle grinder and i find these are very effective if you have acess to a compressor sand blastings probably better. then treat it with rust killer, then paint no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

when you paint on the rust killer gel like substance are you supposed to sand and remove it all afterwards? |
