well, I bought this 03 silverado a couple months ago and Im just now getting to the point of actually touching it. I bought it in the winter and gave it the quick once over but never really poked around and whatnot. its fairly clean, paint shines and all, but ive found a few early problem spots, mainly the bottom inside of the gas door, and both lower door lips on the inside right above the pinch seal.
its almost like they didnt seal the edges up well enough and water/rust started to eat up a little bit under the paint. what is the best way to keep this from spreading. I scraped off the paint and got to the effected metal area, cleaned it up a bit and left it for today.
I was planning on painting on that "rust converter" stuff, letting it do its magic, then going over top of that with some por15 then hitting it with some matching spray paint from murrays. will this be enough to stave it off for a few years if I keep it clean. anything else I can do to keep it at bay? oil or something?
