Lets fix a rust bubble.

Yeah it’s just a DD so no painting the whole panel, no taking it somewhere.

Violator thanks for the info. We’ll be keeping the car till it’s dead, so I’ll go with the rust destroyer. I was thinking I could just sand down to absolutely clean bare metal, but your way is probably more likely to have a fighting chance at success.

No it won’t be perfect, but given where it is I’m sure I can get close enough that it won’t be noticable.

So, can I get color-matching topcoat and clearcoat at the Mazda dealer or is there a better place to get stuff from?

Sphinx, I think I can handle this hog myself… But I never did get that scratch fully out of the Xterra. I may shoot you a PM closer to the weekend if you’re going to be around and wouldn’t mind working your magic on it.
