Re: Rust or Rust Dust Spots or Something Else???
I’m not sure if I’m seeing exactly what you’re talking about in the picture because I’m viewing it through my phone, but if you’re referring to the 2 spots just underneath the panel line then the 1st thing you should try is some Detailing Clay. You can order some here or pick up a Meguiars Detailing Clay Kit locally.
Follow the easy directions and if it is rail dust it’ll come off when you clay it.
As far as those iron removing sprays... Yea they work on a broad scale over the entire vehicle, but IME when it comes to distinct large spots that won’t come clean with a normal wash, it’s the clay that’s most effective.

Re: Rust or Rust Dust Spots or Something Else???
First - welcome to AutogeekOnline!
Second, here's your picture,
And I see the black dots on the bumper, is this what your talking about?
Can you feel them with your finger? Are they above the surface or below the surface.
I would tend to take it back to the guy that painted it and show it to him and ask him what he thinks it could be. Sounds like he's done a good job of taking care of you so far.

Re: Rust or Rust Dust Spots or Something Else???
Thank you both for your prompt reply to my inquiry. I blew up the picture so hopefully you two can see the rust on my hood. Again if you can't see it, I'll have to wait it's quite cloudy today. If you don't like the weather, just wait a minute is a saying around here.

No, that is NOT what I'm referring to. I hope the blow up pic helps and it's on my hood. Can you see what I see?

Yes, I can feel it with my finger.

A up and close pic of what I believe is RUST. I can't get better lighting the weather is NOT cooperating with me today.

Re: Rust or Rust Dust Spots or Something Else???
Yeah, that looks to definitely be chipped paint and rust underneath
Touch up paint will be a temporary fix, once something rusts, it will continue to do so until fully fixed. Rust will remain underneath even with paint over top.
Iron remover also wouldn't be a perm. solution.

Mike, I saw a post on here regarding Dr. Colorchip, do you believe it could work on my car How to use the Dr. ColorChip Paint Chip Repair Systems or can you recommend something else? TIA

Re: Rust or Rust Dust Spots or Something Else???
I will begin my stating I am not a professional painter/body work guy. That being said, my understanding is the area needs to be properly sanded down to bare metal and then prepped for paint. (sand down to metal, prime, paint)
Nothing against your mechanic/friend but if he just paints over it, it will eventually come back. I would make sure its done properly.

Re: Rust or Rust Dust Spots or Something Else???
im with robert. imo, IF that area was repainted, then prepwork fell short. its not the best of light or angles in the pic but it looks like filler was put over that rust then painted. no proper prep work and the filler popped off.
pictures in better light and from different angles would help.

I hope this pic is better, if not let me know.
The texture is smooth suprisingly. I tried to show 'layers' (not sure if that is the right terminology) of the paint and rust.
TIA everyone ...
