Nasty stonechip

[MartinJG]

I have just spotted a nasty stonechip low down on the rear door which has gone right down to bare metal and is rusting. I want to treat and try and prevent further rusting before applying a touch up paint. I have some Kurust but I am not sure if this is up to it and whether the touch up paint will adhere properly. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks.

Personally, I am a great believer in Kurust. It was initially developed for sea-washed applications without a top coat—just a couple of coats of Kurust. Kurust must be fresh. I pour it into a small container (aerosol lid) and then throw that away once used. Do not return any unused Kurust to the bottle.

Hi Jocko. Yes, I remember you mentioning Kurust on another thread. My other concern is whether it will form a sufficient key for touchup paint. Were you able to paint over it without any problems?

[Jocko]

Yes. The paint adhered to it with no problem but try not to get the Kurust on the paint around the chip.

Great. Think I will use a sharpened matchstick. Thanks.

I bought some touch up "tips" from Amazon which I found easier to load with paint. They are essentially like a fine cotton bud of varying sizes and easier to dab into the hole of the chip.
