Automotive Rust Repair and Prevention Introduction Unless you have always lived in a climate that is free of humidity, rain, road salt, chipped, or scratched paint, or any of the other things that cause it, chances are that you have seen, driven, or perhaps even owned an automobile that was affected by rust. Although some locations are more susceptible to the formation of rust than others, rust can be found most anywhere. Rust can be prevented, and ways to do that will be discussed in this book. However, the goal for most of this book is learn how to detect, stop, and repair rust before it gets totally out of hand. Ultimately, the quick answer for getting rid of rust is cutting it all out and welding in new sheetmetal body panels. To find out how to fix rust using that method, please refer to my book, The Complete Guide to Auto Body Repair, 2nd Edition. Multiple examples of removing and replacing entire panels are included in that book. What Is Rust? Most likely, a rubber floor mat covered the floorboard of this truck for most of its past life. Moisture and dirt become trapped below this mat, causing surface rust at the least and complete rust-out at the worst. Since it 'was just a truck,' it was obviously not as cared for as the family sedan, judging by the gash in the metal near the middle of the photo. Judging by the rust on this vehicle (it was rusty in normal and non-normal locations), I would suspect that it has quite a story behind it. Although the paint still looks fairly decent between the door and the wheelwell, I would suspect that it is very soft. It looks like road rash chipped the paint on the hood of this older vehicle and the paint was not touched up, allowing rust to form. The rust then began to bubble up from below the paint, causing bubbles in the surrounding painted surface.
