    Rust

    My car has some pretty ugly rust spots on the side and I don't have the money to get them taken out. Does anybody have any suggestions for how to cover up the rust? I know anything I do won't be a permanent fix and it's not the proper way to do it but I'm probably not going to have this car forever and the rust is an eyesore, I just want to make it less noticeable.

    For the rockers sand it down get some rust inhibiting primer and respray the whole thing.

    I am doing it this week if you want me to take pictures or something. Mine are not near as bad as yours but same process.

    As for the door sandpaper, primer and a can of touch up paint and some clear.

    Sold it.

      sand everything down from the the side mouldings, rock guard the sills, respray black + clear, rub with rubbing compound, swirl mark remover then wax no one will know the diference. fix spots see spots simple as that, the black moulding will atleast break it up a little bit so it's harder to notice..

        Yeah, some pictures would be great if it's not too much trouble.
