Rust Repair Before Painting

Rust must be checked before painting. Painting over untreated rust can lead to future bubbling or peeling. The repair option depends on how deep the rust is.

Rust check

• Surface rust
• Paint bubbling
• Rust around edges
• Rust under seals or trims
• Deep corrosion or holes

Customer note

Rust work needs clear inspection. Deep corrosion may require cutting, welding or part replacement.
