It very rarely NEVER comes back....unless you remove the panel, slaughter a chicken, drap ethe entrails over the panel, light a fire, and bury it in a field on the summer solstice.

Oh, and the chicken has to be a virgin, too. (At least that's what a bodyshop bloke told me)  :y

I find the best way is to grind in necessary off all traces of the rust, then apply anti-rust solution (sounds a bit overkill, but theres no such thing as rust overkill in my book!) then fill if necessary, then paint. Also I've given up using drill with wire brush attachments, anglegrinder with wirebrush is far more effective.  :y :y
