Baseline
June 8th is when I got to the
side window touch-up, the day before
scrubbing the recovery tank. It wasn't hard to wet sand the spots and dry them with compressed air. As a baseline, here's a photo of the Riv taken less than a year ago in California:
Sanding and Prep
Time will tell if enough of the rust was removed during prep. Here are a Right and Left view. That "orange puck" is probably body putty.
Touch-up Paint
The PAINT was from a Dupli-Color 2in1 Applicator, GM 433 Bright White but it has apparently yellowed in nearly a years' time. The objective is to treat RUST SPOTS. In other words, rust and corrosion control. It may not be prefect but I doubt anyone will notice once the trim strips are re-attached.
The Riv is going into the body shop for some REAL paint work soon, and the foreman will be able to advise where to go from here. The correct way to fix these spots is
WAY EXPENSIVE and probably not necessary at this time.
This method works for me, and it's doubtful that anyone would notice the color of those crevasses!!
