There are a few spots under my finders that are showing "surface rust". A few are around weld spots for the door hinges. I want to get this addressed to prevent any future damage. Any suggestions as to how to treat these areas?

Thanks!

@Davedacarpainter

He may need better pics, you will have to pull the doors/fenders to address it anyways.

First off, pull your fenders off. Then post a few specific area pictures for us.

No matter how bad it is I can get you going on the repair. It's really hard to say from those pictures though.

Pulling a fender is really simple. If you have any questions about that, just holler at me.
