Whats the best way to get rid of Rust on a car??

Answer 1

You don't say where or how much??? Go to the KBS Coatings website for RustSeal info & application instructions.

Answer 2

If it's more than just like rust in a paint chip, that you have gotten to within a few weeks of the rust forming, the best way is to take it to a professional.

If you're looking at a car with lots of bubbling paint, or what a seller says is "just surface rust..." Well in that case, there is no such thing as surface rust. If you don't know when it started and how far it progressed, just assume that you're going to have to strip all the paint off the entire car, sand all the rust out, replace a shitload of metal, treat the entire car and repaint it.

If it IS just a freshly rusted rock chip in the paint, sand it, apply some rust remover to be on the safe side, and repaint it. If it's gone too deep to get all the black spots and whatnot, there's paint that is made to be applied over rust and arrest it. I've never tried it, but POR-15 is the most popular brand.

People refer to rust on cars as "cancer." And it basically is analogous. If we're talking more than the tiniest bit of rust, we're talking thousands of dollars.

Answer 3

As a person who has had more cars than years you have lived , the only way to get rust that has already formed , you have to sand and filler , (body filler is an old cars best friend)
If you don't have rust yet hurry go and get it scotch guarded.

Answer 4

depending on if it is surface rust or it is deep rust; if it is surface rust you can use wd-40 to get it off, but if it is deep in the panel then you may need to sand it using 100 grit sand paper, then once the surface is smooth then you could primer it using a flat color that matches the paint on the car, then you can wet sand it using a 200 grit sand paper then you should be able to put the primary color on it, but if it is rusted through then I suggest you have that piece or pieces replaced.

Answer 5

Is surface rust, grind, sand, or media blast it away, prime repair and refinish.

If deeper than surface rust, cut it away and re place the metal. There is no other way that won't allow rust to re occur.

Answer 6

big rust jobs needs a pro but small rust dings and denst may require your time and a few tools.

Answer 7

I dont think there is an easy way. You could always sand off the rust and repaint it.

Answer 8

the only permanent way is to cut the affected areas back to clean metal then weld replacement sections in,once rust has established itself its only ever a botch job to cover it with filler and paint over it.(usually just before selling it!)

Answer 9

A rust convertor such as Jenolite. By far and away the best one (IF you can get hold of it) is Trustan23.

Answer 10

If you want to keep the car and it runs good and is in fairly good condition then take it to a reputable body shop. If you can't afford that then take it to a trade school and let the students do it for a small fee. If you want a quick cheap job then take it to Earl Sheib.

Answer 11

only way is to cut out all rust and replace with new metal.
