Do I just apply the paint over the rust spot, let it dry, then apply the clearcoat? Thanks for your advice - I know nothing about paint/detailing. |

The roof panel is very obviously not treated for rust resistance the same as the lower body panels. I have a major chip on the front fender that after 4 years and salty winters has some minor surface discoloration on the steel. I have 5 chips along the front of my roof that look like a 20 year old car already.

I have some old IronX from when I used to work near a rail yard and was fighting fallout daily. If you can get some of that to knock out the rust before you apply, that's what I did. Then you can keep it around and detail a couple times a year with it. Much easier than claying. Also my method involves getting a dab of the paint on a piece of paper and applying with a toothpick. Once it dries too much make another small dab. Let it settle each time before you apply another layer. Unless you would rather over apply and then sand down with a circle of fine grit sand paper glued to the eraser tip of a pencil.
