Rust in bonnet lip. DIY? Evolution?

Featured Replies

Hi!

 

In the picture, you can see a paint chip in the lip of the bonnet that is starting to rust. As I live in the middle of Europe, wet weather all around and park outside...

 

A. How bad will it get in 1 year or 5? Given the car is 12 years old and 250k km, maybe it is not worth fixing if it doesn't become an issue. 

 

B. Any favorite videos or tutorial on how to fix it? I am not looking for professional results, just to contain it. 

 

Also, I noticed smaller chips all over the bonnet. I wonder if this is just going to become more and more prevalent. 

 

Thanks in advance!

First get Rust Inhibitor / Converter on it and any other chips to the metal.

 

Then look on Youtube at the hundreds or thousands on how too,s.

Or look in the 'Styling and car care' section on this forum and there are various threads on 'how do i' do this or that.
