Touching up rust areas
Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2016 2:04 pm
How do you smooth out light surface rust?
I have always felt that filler is an overkill, and never had much success with knifing putty.
Recently I bought a Halfords touch up kit for my wife's fiesta and part of the instructions said 'use the filler primer'. It really was a great success however they don't sell it separately. The filler primers that I have used (UPOL etc) are only really any good for very light scratching if that.
I have a spot blaster so it would be very nice to just treat a small area ( say 1" round) and then smooth it and airbrush/paint it out without using filler and murdering the surrounding area.
