This started as a paint bubble and grew to about 2" in diameter than it cracked and opened up.

I had mine dipped and derusted for about $50 bucks at the local metal dip and strip metal refinisher- American Metal Refinishers. They use the dip electrical rust removal process that only attacks the rust without removing metal. They showed me an engine block that had been derusted and the cylinder bores were not enlarged.
For my trunk, I carefully pried open the fold under the lid where you lift to open the trunk so that they had access to the rust bubbles in the fold. Came back with the foam gone, and all the rust eliminated. I did have to bang on the lid for awhile (gently) as the rust was turned to a black crunchy stuff that was either stuck to the lid or rattling around. Poured POR into the seams, and refolded the flap. I do have a coupla small pin holes on the underside support structure near the latch that need cutting and patching but the lid is rust free. I've been using them for other difficult jobs such as removing rust from inside of that double walled area in the front fender and if they know exactly what you want, they do a really great job. |
