after i rolled my jeep the gutter mounts especially and other places are very damged and will have lots of rust when the rain starts, a matter o fact, they are already rusting right now, but my question is, how can i cover the rust without using something like white rustoeleum paint. it will not match the color of my jeep at all, my jeep i guess would be considered glossy white. is there some sort of touch up paint out there that helps prevent rust?

If its already started to rust, you're going to have to neutralize the rust before painting over it, even if you sand all of it off, there will still be traces left that will cause the new paint to bubble up. The rust will also spread if not neutralized. They sell rust neuralizer or de-activator at most parts stores, as well as auto body supply stores. The bad thing is that most of the stuff I've ever seen and used turns the area dark purple or black, so painting will be needed.

just leave it black or purple. It's like being WOUNDED in action... Ask Mr. Kerry.
