any body got any advise on how to keep a car from rusting away once the first spot is found?

Answer 1

You didn't say whether it was the body or the under carriage.

If it is a small spot on the surface then you need to remove the rust with as fine a sandpaper that will do the job and then it must have a primer put on it and then paint it the color of the car.

If the spot is small than I wouldn't spray it but use a small artist brush to apply the primer and paint.

If it is rusting through from under neath such as a fender than you need to get the rubberized undercoat spray and apply it to the area.

Answer 2

If you want to fix it yourself, you need to remove all of the rust, ang sand the area till your down to bare metal, which will be silver colored. Then you need to prime it, paint it and clear coat it. A few thin layers of each. You can get all the material relatively cheap at an autozone or what have you

Answer 3

Answer 4

Yes, you fix it right away. You can even have someone come out to your work or house and fix it there. It's not too expensive and it will prevent it from rusting further.
