Local Rust Pits - primer questions - edited

Here is my new Winter Project:


Not as extensive as others, but it needs to be cleaned out.

OK, I get it... new topic.

Rust is being removed by a small grinding wheel and carbide burr. The general surface rust was scuffed off with sand paper, but the pits! Ugh they were deep. So they had to be ground out. I have time and the deep pits are only in a few locations thankfully, so going the sand blasting route is a little overkill.

Looking at the posts and the 101, I'm still a little confused since most posts refer to things like "DTM" "RM" "EP" and other abbreviations that just make it hard to figure out what is being refered to. I've done a lot of searching but without a spreadsheet, I am losing track of all the suggestions. Guess I need a spreadsheet...

What is DTM? and Why is it good?

Mike - PickleX20 is a good rust converter product you could also use prior to priming. Go here to read about it. I used on my repaint as is Fishcop. Autobodystore Forums
