Help/Advice with Door sill rust!

[dalemalley]

Any ideas on how to deal with this, I literally have no idea where to start. Not looking for anything professional just to prevent it from growing and looking terrible! I have a touch up bottle and a spray can of mondial.

Been painted before?

@dci172 do you mean resprayed mate? I would guess not, this is the way I bought it last year!

I would be checking behind the side skirts too with having rust by there!

Bilt hamber do great rust treatment stuff.

Take the skirt off as theres no point only doing the bit you can see, itl only get worse!

Sand all the crust n rust back then use some rust treatment like kurust etc, zinc primer then spray it with rattle cans. Most it will be behind the skirt when done so if your not looking for a neat job you will only see a bit of it!

+1 on this.
The Hammerite Kurust is a good product to stopping light rust / rust starting to show. I've used it several times on numerous vehicles and other metal items around the home.

Bilthamber is proper stuff but that needs more than rubbed down.

My opinion? It's had work and if you lift the rubber seal it may tell you more. If that doesn't show anything then get the side skirt off.

That is a very unusual place for rust to start on these.

I'd follow what's been said above and investigate behind that side skirt.
