Rust Proofing Yourself

I have a few small rust spots under the fender and wheel wells i was going to do it myself before the salty winters come


Just wondering what materials in terms of paint, rust proof paint etc i need for this job.

I have the sander , just wondering what procedure to do it in.
I have an idea but i don't want to screw / make anything worst


thoughts & ideas

Might write up a DIY once i'm done too

Credits will be added

1. Wire wheel on a drill to strip any crap on there.
2. Clean everything up.
3. Sandblast anything that you touched with the wire wheel.
4. Primer (a few coats if you wish)
5. Rubberized coating last. This stuff wont chip when rocks and crap flies up and hits it.

I used a wire wheel attachment on a drill and took any crap off.....you should do this before sanding because the sandpaper might get clogged fast if theres lots of crap
