A few years ago, my sister put a small dent in my mustang, and it has had a rust spot on the passenger front tire well ever since. My dad said he tried finding touch up paint and never could. A while back I found some at
Automotivetouchup.com, so I bought it. Today I finally got around to fixing that ugly front fender. First things first, I had to sand down the rust so that the paint will actually help. Otherwise the rust will just eat its way through. then I had to put tape around where I wanted to spray. Finally I had to spray. I thought about using a paint brush, but I figured it would leave brush strokes. So, I used light layers to do the trick, letting each layer dry for a few minutes (as per the spray cans instructions). After an afternoon, it was done. You can still see where the two little circles are, but I have a hard time (at least in the light of the garage) seeing the little strip right on the edge.
