    Just brought home a new-to-me Tundra and found a small paint chip behind the rear wheel that's starting to rust a bit. Any tips to fix this so it doesn't get worse?

    I can get an MGM touch-up pen to make it look better, but I imagine I need to do something first to deal with the rust....just no idea what.

    Aside from using chemicals, Dremel the shit out of it, primer then paint IDK. I ain't no bodywork guy.

    Check youtube for demos, sure you can find something that shows exactly what to do. Sand the rust away, spot prime and then top coat it, couple coats with your color.

    Yeah, I have a few rust spots and tried that crap. Completely worthless. I’m just gonna let them chill there till I figure out a better option.
