Fixing some rust on the door.

What have I´ve been doing to the Starlet lately?
Well... I noticed that there were some rust forming on the right door. Me no like. Decided to do someting about it. Clean it (sand-paper), and then use Primer and then zinc color and after that white and some clear coating. Will see if it keept the rust away or if it comes back.

Here the primer and the zinc color is applied. Have to wait a day or so before applying the original white color and last clear coating.
Used an earpad to apply the color, not a brush.

Some bottles I used.

We will see how long it takes before the rust comes back.
