Bonnet rust, help!

mattyprice4004 · 17 May 2009 at 16:59

Found out last week I have a bit of rust going on, slight bubbling at the very front of the bonnet.

Went under the hood to see if it's there, and there was an area of moderately bad corrosion directly under where the bubbling was coming. Sanded it down (couldn't get all of it because it was on a welding seam) primed it and resprayed, both under the hood and on top.

A week later, and it's coming back on the front lip of the bonnet (the areas in question were next to the lip).

What do I need to do to stop it coming back? I'm not an expert with rust!

You can get rust converters which converts the rust back into proper metal

The only way to remove it completely is to sell your car and buy a proper car.

Rust converter or a replacement bonnet from the scrappy.

Just claim it's "rat", and live with it.

Had rust in exactly the same place on my old rover 400. I didn't do anything about it though and then 6 months later someone rear ended the car and wrote it off so I'm glad I didn't waste my time trying to repair it.

So my advice is just leave it

Hammerite Kurust is supposed to be good for fixing it.
