rust & restoration

Recommended Posts

Just noticed a few tiny rust spots due to stone chips on the edge of the wing where it meets the bonnet. What should I do? The car's silver which I hear is a bitch to match paint wise (and a rough touch up the Jap guy who had it before me did to the wing mirror stands out!)?

 

Should I just dab some Kurust on it or what? Sanding the whole thing down and respraying it seems a bit much...

Secondly, my Vertec Manaray Sport VR5 alloy wheels are looking a bit second hand, a combination of stone chips (I think) and some weird white squiggley marks! Any thoughts/ideas on restoring these? Or do they look a lost cause?

on the subject of rust.....

 

Has anyone else got any rust under the door sills? (I mean the plastic kick plate) Mines quite bad.

I've also got some surface spots in the shut at the top of the rear hatch.

 

I was going to get whoever does my re-spray in the spring to sort them out, but was interested to see if anyone else has any problems....
