Shocked Rust!

JohnDotCom · 27th February 2008, 23:18

Washed my Baby today to remove the seagull Bombing run marks,
and saw what I thought was speck of dirt left on roof,
But Shock horror it is a very small 2mm round Rust Spot on roof.
Could be from a stone chip or Muck from the Birds.

New thing for me after 3 75's what do I do?
Do I buy these Rust treatment Pens and paint etc?
I'll be honest I have no idea for this small mark which obviously cannot be left.
Any suggestions /cures would be welcome.

Put a blob of bird muck on it to hide it.
Sorry couldn't resist

JohnDotCom · 27th February 2008, 23:25

Now I'll make you put on my rear mudflaps too for that!

Offer is there any time.

Must be a stone chip gone right through to bare metal.
Get one of the fibreglass type scratchy pens, clean the area up, get a paint pen and get some on it. If you are careful when painting it won't notice to the casual eye.

Cheers Mick. Just want to remove and stop it coming back.

Shame it's not Dorchester red

I think all silver cars should be painted Dorchester red.

Just trying to help.
