My 2001 Golf (pearl green) has a couple of very small, rusting rock chipped spots where the windshield meets the roof. I plan to get some superfine sandpaper from my local body shop, punch the paper out in small disks and glue them to the eraser/tops of pencils.
Once smoothed down and rust removed, I`ll apply primer, let it dry and set for a day or two, then roughen it and apply touchup paint. I`ll use a tooth pick to apply the paint. Am I skipping any vital steps?
I also have some chipped areas on a couple of door edges from when they got knocked against adjacent vehicles. These aren`t rusting, but I can see the white primer and want to repair them. What`s the best way on such curved surfaces?
Thanks very much.
