Hey CI people, this may be a bit of a beginner question, but after this long NY winter, the salt has taken its toll on my car. There are some spots around the wheel well that rust is peaking through, so I want to fix it this spring, before it gets bad. I have kind of ghetto fixed rust before, using a rattle can to cover it temporarily, but I want to do it "right" this time. I don't want to have multiple crappy looking splotches of rattle can on my car haha.
That said I do not know how to weld yet, I should be learning in the nearish future, so I just want to grind down the rust to the metal and cover it until then.
I'm just curious to hear some paint matching techniques you have used in the past on your integras. I have a 1998 Black GSR, and I'm sure the paint has faded a bit since then. I can get a picture of the rust spot if that would help, it's very small and barely showing through the paint. So I imagine a little sanding/grinding would get it to stable metal, and hold me over until I learn to weld.
Any tool/technique recommendations are very welcome. Thanks for the help.
