Anybody have recommendations for the best way to fix very small rusty spots? I have quite a few, but they are all small. The absolute biggest is about 4-5mm. I'd like to sand them all out and hit them with a quick shot of paint to keep the rust from spreading. There is no real money to pay a pro for this, so I'm thinking a product like Por15 and a touch up brush would be the most efficient since it means I won't have to mask.

Thought?

POR15 is the way to go; that stuff actually sticks better to rust than bare metal, pretty cool. If you are getting them in the seams where most of us get them you'll want to try and check out the back side too as it's probably bubbling there as well.
