Do it the right way with a Dremel. It looked like there was still a little rust in that hole. If that’s the case it will definitely come right through the pain in no time.
Put some 500 and 1000 grit sand paper on the rubber of a pen, with super-glue. Sand out all of the rust. You could make a hole a bit bigger but it will better if you remove all of the rust. Then do the primer and base color as shown in video. If base color is mixed with clear coat, you can sand it down a bit with 2000 grit and polish it to shine. If base color is just paint, put another layer of clear coat on top, sand after dried and polish it.
I learned from a professional body guy that you can use a razor blade to scrape away any rust or flaking paint as well. The rubbing compound is a good idea though.
If you plan on keeping the car for a long time you should use a pencil eraser and wrap some sand paper around it, get to bare metal, prime, then paint and clear if applicable.
Just bought a car two days ago and I spotted a rust dot like this and my whole joy gone for a second cause I got worried if it will expand. Thanks for this video. Feeling some stress free.
Glad to see it's not just me that uses these methods, I tend to to use T Cut or T Cut scratch remover first as being less abrasive than rubbing compound. I agree with another comment here about grit paper on a pencil end, another method is some compound on the end of a Dremel felt cone, it all depends how long the chip has been rusting for.
thx you for sharing your idea. I haven't thought of using a paint brush for a tiny rust spot. I was going to spray paint on the entire area which is not needed.
You're gonna have a lot more to worry about than that little chip if you keep putting wd40 on your paint and rubber seals and if you don't get every little bit of rust off before painting smh. People, this is not how it's done, not even close.
Ahaha this is a hilarious way of fixing up the chip and totally what I was looking for. I think changing up the methods up a bit would be nice. Clean up the rust spot first. Use paint-on rust converter instead of buffing it out with Turtle wax. Cleaning it up with isopropyl alcohol again. Then using base coat primer (grey or black). Lastly, instead of using gunpla paint pen, I'll be ordering the touch-up paint for my FRS (D4S Raven Black). Seal it up with a clear coat and you're good to go.
Idk where you get your info from but the guy on CZcams using the compound didn't say it'll buff out the rust. It'll buff out faded paint is what he said and demonstrated.
Rustoleum is just a primer. I used it to prevent rust. If you search 'touch-up paint' on Amazon you will see a lot of paint pen options. Hope that helps!
for paint pens you need to find the color code of your car. Search Your car's manufacturer color and type in paint code for it afterwards, and then go to amazon and look for a paint pen with that same code. Most paint pen manufacturers have a ton of different manufacturers colors, so you shouldnt have a problem finding the corrrect one
Let this be known to all who watch this video - this is NOT how you repair or clean out a rock chip - if any rust remains it will evolve and start to bubble with time.
How fast can they progress i have 2 small dots in front of the roof and small on right wheels planing to fix it how long will it last until it start rusting
You didn’t show the full name of whatever you used to get most of the rust off. It looks like it says “ compound “ as the last word, but you didn’t say the name either. At any rate it doesn’t seem to get all of the rust, and leaving any amount of rust behind is a huge mistake.
Its turtle wax heavy duty rubbing compound. About 1500grit they say. Terrible stuff for this application, as you have to dig all that dried gunk out of the chip hole before painting.
I'm just baffled why you would put this video up. It's idiotic. Didn't remove the rust and failed to even get the right paint color! Looks like a wad of gum stuck to the roof haha

My thoughts exactly
Doesn’t look like rust inside the hole, maybe some stained metal
Use a dremel, remove the rust then prime and finally finish with paint?
Put some 500 and 1000 grit sand paper on the rubber of a pen, with super-glue. Sand out all of the rust. You could make a hole a bit bigger but it will better if you remove all of the rust.

If base color is just paint, put another layer of clear coat on top, sand after dried and polish it.
Great advice, I'm gonna try this method! The damage on my car is pretty small
Great advice!
I learned from a professional body guy that you can use a razor blade to scrape away any rust or flaking paint as well. The rubbing compound is a good idea though.
Use a Dremel tool to remove the rust and apply a rust converter to the area before painting.
If you plan on keeping the car for a long time you should use a pencil eraser and wrap some sand paper around it, get to bare metal, prime, then paint and clear if applicable.
Thx!
What grit sand paper?
@@realestalive9572 400 or 600
Thanks, I will do 👍
No.

dont put black primer use grey or white thats why color looks darker
What you could do in addition is add a clear..then wait a day and wet sand with 4000 grit and then apply with compound and then polish
That's very good for easy fixing small spot. Thanks, man 👍. I'm gonna do it to my car.
And be careful with the alcohol near a windshield - it can dissolve some adhesives leading to leaks

Sweet! Thx for the tip!
How is the repair holding up after the 2 year mark?
Nice video, thanks! However I find the comments section here very useful as well. Thanks for sharing, everyone!
How is the spot now and you can also use rust remover gel! It works great!
I have this exact same issue. Thank you
Why not spray it with fallout /iron remover ?
I have some of that from Griot’s. I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
No clear coat?
They make fiberglass pens to do this. Its 1000 times easier. This is a great what NOT TO DO video.
Hey Dean. Thanks for the great video! Watching it about 1 year since you made it. How is that spot since, did any rust come through?
no rust whatsoever
Navel jelly would have taking most out and killed any rust from starting again.
You lost me at WD40
WD 40 will accelerate rust , its a penetrating oil that penetrates metal
A 4 1/2 inch pneumatic DA sander with 40 grit will clean that right up.
Naval Jelly is pretty legit for rust removal.
How is the paint now after 3 years? please answer or do a video so we can see If rust came back
Sold the car in Nov 2022, no rust then.
Idk where you get your info from but the guy on CZcams using the compound didn't say it'll buff out the rust. It'll buff out faded paint is what he said and demonstrated.
Hey man any chance you can give us a list of links to all the stuff you used awesome video!
Thanks you solved my problem
What about using very fine sand paper and sand it?
Very nice video thanks for sharing
That rust wasn't removed completely and will come back
Hey Dean! Can you tell me which paint marker you used pls? I have the exact same colour car
I have a black car. should I still use both the Rustoleum and a paint pen? Tell me more about the paint pen...where do you buy these?
Rustoleum is just a primer. I used it to prevent rust. If you search 'touch-up paint' on Amazon you will see a lot of paint pen options. Hope that helps!

Call the dealership give them the vin number of your car and they will give you the same exact color
You can get that at your car dealer..give them your cars vin number & pick one up. It’s not expensive.
@lin_leaf the paint code will be on the plaque, inside the passenger door frame
Good job 👏
Let this be known to all who watch this video - this is NOT how you repair or clean out a rock chip - if any rust remains it will evolve and start to bubble with time.
If i were to scrape the area clean with a razor blade would that be enough then clean with alcohol before primer im about to do this in a hour or 2
Polish the rust out ok that’s is one of the silliest things I have heard in awhile!
How fast can they progress i have 2 small dots in front of the roof and small on right wheels planing to fix it how long will it last until it start rusting
Was this made in China? Why the music.
music is super distracting
How to compound out surface chipped paint auto
You should wrap the roof!
That’s expensive for just a chip..
The video don't make sense, the comments actually helps with what can be done
You left rust on the surface before covering up?! That doesn’t seem like a good way to prevent it from spreading…
The spray paint did say rust inhibitor I think
I wonder if that is a Subaru thing? My Impreza has very similar rusty rock chips above the windshield.
My Hyundai has done the same thing!!
It's japanese paint. They excel at everything about cars, except paint.
My brand new Crosstrek I bought a year ago already has a rust spot. I’m beyond disappointed in the quality of Subarus.
Love the tip hate the music in the background I'd rather just hear your voice. I know some people love it I guess I'm getting old
playing SABBATH sounds good lol
Always bloody music. It drives me nuts.
I didn't even hear it!!! Lol
You folks need to learn how to tune certain noises out.
Hey!! It works for me! 😁
music tooooooo loud !
Which sand paper to remove tiny rust layer?
It’s going to rust bubble. All you did was slow it down at most
if slow it down for 10 yrs I would say I am happy
Good video...thanks.
Just use chipex, job done

Should have just used Rust-eeze
realy helpfull
cat got your tongue?
Dude. Lose. The. Music.
What’s the song? Nice vid
Where can you buy the pen?
amazon
You're job is not worth for CZcams. You did everything wrong. The scene is nice though the music was so annoying.
Looks terrible, whats a Caber box? I really enjoyed the internet music though.. Great job!
Bad music so gone
Music loud. Why the fck do people add music to their videos smh 🤦🏾♂️
Because they can't dance or sing...padompdomp...
Ospho....
I'm just baffled why you would put this video up. It's idiotic. Didn't remove the rust and failed to even get the right paint color! Looks like a wad of gum stuck to the roof haha
The color is darker because he used a black primer🤷♂️😊
Tutto sto casino per fare un ritocco? Mah!!!
Sorry, no good result.
😋
Thats a terrible job.
Why, did he not use the coat paint and just put the blue marker instead?
Bloody music.
Horrible fix
What a better way was about to do this to my car
doing this before i trade in my car🫡🫡
