Alright guys I need someone to throw me a bone here. My roof has some serious surface rust. Nothing appears to be through, just bad pitting.
If someone can look over my plan of attack and give me some pointers- I would be seriously grateful.
One main thing I need some advice on is whether I should use some kind of chemical to remove the rust or just go right to the sanding.
-Peel back roof trim and remove roof rack
-Tape off everything
-Start sanding with 4 angle grinder loaded with a 120 grit sanding pad
-After I start reaching bare metal and most of the rust is gone I'll start hand sanding with 320 grit and a block.
-Spray self-etching primer(2 full coats)
-Spray basecoat (2? Coats)
-Clear coat (2? Coats)
I've got an electric Wagner sprayer that I'll be using for the primer, base and clear coat.
ANY help is appreciated.
Thanks
