Re: Driver's door replacement

["David Guido" <guido_david@hotmail.com>]

Por-15 or some other rust conversion agent like "Rustmort" works great in 
those hard to reach areas where you can't sand to bare metal and wirewheel. 
Once you have it down to bare metal make sure you treat it with a "etching" 
metal conditioner before you fill any defects or prime.
Rust conversion agents only work if there is rust! If you use these, just 
remove the macro-rust first and the residual micro-rust will get coverted, 
and gernerally stopped in its tracks. However if you can reach rusted areas, 
I feel it is best to go with the metal "etcthing"
conditioner method.All these products can be found in your local auto-body 
supply. In San Jose, CA. I recomend "Center Paint" on Stevens Creek Blvd.
