Before refitting the back bumper I wanted to deal with a few rusty chips, namely where the bumper upper leading edge meets the underside of the rear wings and the very lower wing panel, behind the doors.
A quick look showed a couple of rust spots on the left side, but after paint removal it showed the rust spot was hidden by paint still and about three times larger area, than it seemed.
After quite some time chipping and using acid all the rust was removed, leaving. This is a very close image and any dark spots are shadow. I checked and checked there were no leftover rust spots.
The right side was similar, but a much smaller patch.
After chipping and acid treatment.
I then sanded and wire wheeled these areas to smooth them ready for primer.
The left lower wing panel had three stone chips needed attention, fortunately no rust in these, however I wire wheeled and acid treated to be sure.
All areas were primed. It's a shame that the rear wing/bumper sections come round onto the actual panel, as I was hoping to keep paint repairs to the underside flange only....as I'm rubbish at painting cars.
