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.

Rust on Starlets?

Rust is not that very common fortunately.

But I managed to find one that had some clearly noticeable rust.

Boot cover, pretty common, must have been something wrong from the start.

Rust on: Front lower beam, Doors, and rear wheelhouse
I have also heard that the upperside (topside?) of the fuel-tank is common to rust. You cant normally see this.

Rear brakelines I think is common. The inspector took a knife to try to find on my car, he did not find any rust. #Rust treatment
