    rust on rolled section of quarterpanel

    Been lucky until now but came back from my last deployment, and i guess the weather was worse or too much time outside but i have some surface rust on parts of the rear fenders where an old roll job done years ago caused the paint to crack.

    Any advice on how to clean this up?

    Anyone know a good place that could repaint a very small section without having to do the entire quarter panel. It is just on the part that was rolled under, not visible from the outside.

    Talk to DTM Autobody if you want to have a shop do it.

    Or depending on how close it is to the outside of the fender, you could try to do it yourself. Sand down the inside, and just primer + rattle can it if it's not visible.

    You basically need to request an "exterior spot refinish" only if you don't want to get into the whole panel. MOST shops won't warranty/guarantee it though since the correct way to do it is to grind down to the metal, remove all the corrosion, re-apply corrosion protection, paint, and clearcoat the entire quarter, etc. Either way, you should have it done sooner rather than later because once the rust eats deep enough, it's a way bigger hassle.

    We can fix this but you can't just paint a small section of the quarter panel. The whole quarter would be painted. We don't do spot blends like what kge0003 said because there would be no warranty/guarantee on it.
