wire brush off all the loose paint and rust and paint with kurust, then paint on top...... i kurusted areas of my chassis 12 months ago and didnt get round to painting till this week, been in a damp garage for 12 months and still had zero rust

cheers steve

oops thought the primer would be ok

cor that kurust aint cheap about £7 for 250ml, would cost a bit to do the chassis
