How would YOU clean out rust that is starting in a paint chip of a car?
My friend would like to know how would you clean out rust that is starting in a paint chip of a car? Should you spray the bare metal surface with a primer before applying touch up paint after cleaning the rust?
Since it is a small paint chip, I would do the following…
Using a Q-Tip, apply a little rust dissolver, like Naval Jelly (at auto parts stores) and let it soak and sit on it. Rinse off. Then, using masking tape to protect the good paint surrounding the small chip, I would use a Dremel moto-tool with a small wire wheel on it to clean off the residual rust, if any. One the bare metal I would use dupli-color touch up paints in the tiny applicator bottle brush combo. They come in primer, color coat and clear, although the clear coat probably isn't necessary. Lightly dab the paint on with the brush that is in the bottle. Masking the surrounding area works great, even on tiny areas. I have used a paper hole puncher to make a nice small hole in a 2" wide masking tape. Barely noticeable when done, you'll have to search for it.
Good Luck!
