Rust spots on paint
« on: October 29, 2013, 10:05:12 AM »
I have rust spots thought the paint on my 73' 350f.  One spot on the tank is a little raised and about a dime size.  Would you guys sand down the clear coat and then re-apply? And ideas are welcome

What does the inside of the tank look like? Is it about to rot all the way through?
