    Default Body work checklist

    I'm ready to tackle the rust spots and have searched many sites which has given me the encouragement to believe i may be able to end up with a decent result but so many suggestions left me a little unsure. For the small blistering rust areas I've read;Grind away with a stone tipped drill bit and sand around the area a little past the visible limit of the rust.Apply a rust neutralizer, wait a day(?),now the confusion.Is the next step a self etching primer or POR15 sealer/inhibitor or are they the same thing. If i use both before paint which goes on first? The self etching primer then the POR15 rust prevention then paint then clear coat?
