- Before you start, cover up portions of the car which you don’t want to get dusty. You may roll down your windows too.

- Now it’s time to prepare the rust spot for painting. First, wipe the area then tape newspaper on the surrounding parts within three feet.
- Once the area is ready for painting, spray thin coats of primer evenly. Allow the primer to dry overnight or at least 12 hours.
- Sand the rust spot using grit wet sandpaper. The abrasive is designed for sanding paint coats to de-gloss and smoothen the surface. Wipe clean afterwards.
- You should never let the paint sag so spray a thin coat of paint. If you have successfully matched paint colors, you may use several coats of paint to achieve nice finish and perfect color.
- To make the new paint blend with old paint, remember to buff the edges after application of the new paint.
- Let the paint dry for 48 hours. Wash afterwards then polish the car as you wish.
- Never ever wax fresh paint within 30 days after paint.
