:Once you have it stripped down to bare metal,they have a solution called metal prep that you could wipe the spots down with.Your best bet then would be to borrow a compressor for the afternoon and spray the spots with Vari-prime it is yellowish green in color it is made by Dupont. It is a self etching primer I believe they also may have it available in spray cans.A couple of coats will hold out the rust for a long time.we have one project that has been sitting in this primer for over 6 years with no rust through. If you need any other body work tips let me know. E-mail me.Steve "Auto-man" Ottman, Manager Schmidt's Towing & Body.
