rust weren't too bad, but that why i've done it now, didn't want it getting nasty, i will sand it back again then, only slapped primer on cos it started getting dark and was fed up...

sand that back down and use the other stuff if you can get some and it should be fine, depends on how deep the rust was really aswell

you need to spray it with anti-rust compounds and anti-rust primer should be able to get these from halfrauds:)
