rust above tires
I took off my flares to put new ones on and discovered that there is rust starting to form under the flares with some bubbling and some of the paint is chipping off. What are my options to keep it from getting worse? I figured i could paint the part under the flare after i sanded it down to get rid of the rust but not really sure what to do about the rust that is bubbling the metal or where the paint is chipping off outside of where the flare goes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

remove any paint thats bubbling until you find rust free metal. i like to chip the paint around all the rusted areas to ensure theres no rust forming underneath. sand down the rust until its all gone. remember, if you dont get rid of it all, it will come back. thats why its called cancer. then paint it with either a really good paint, por-15, maybe some rubberized undercoating or even rollon bedliner.

your going to have to remove a lot of paint probably to get rid of all the rust. get some 80 grit sand paper and start sanding in a small spot and work your way out from the rust spot till you find rust free metal them feather in the edges with some finer grit then prime sand again then pain
