If it is corroded the area will have to be prepped before applying paint. Sounds like you may need to go to a body shop and get a quote for the best fix.

The thing about body work is that the whole piece needs to be recleared afterwards or it'll have issues later. That can be expensive.

According to that link 3m sells a sanding pen for small spots. Awesome thanks for the link . The Dr color chip kit looks cool. I might spring on this to try it. For now im gonna look into that sanding pen, i can use my touch up paint and clear i already own. I might need to find some sorta primer for the spot.

Use a sanding pen to prep the surface and take out the rust:
K-Tool International (KTI70550) Sanding Pen - Amazon.com Use Dr Colorchip to touch it up: Dr.ColorChip Custom Automotive Touch-Up Paint Kit - Dr. ColorChip: Automotive Paint Chip Repair Systems If you still have a blob because you messed up, remove it: LANGKA The Blob Eliminator : Amazon.com : Automotive |
