What can be done for these rust spots? The guy that painted it I think used a 1 stage paint and very little clear. I don’t want to have to repaint the whole thing. Is there a way to do just the spots? People have suggested a compound but not sure, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

The previous bodywork/paint-job is going bad.

Agree^^^ the problem is under the paint. No way to fix with out removing all the new paint. Looks like painter didn't prep well...or mask well, he painted your carpet.  |
Yeah, that's not new rust, that's old rust...he painted right over rust. And where else does it lurk, you don't know. No easy fix there. |

| The pic of the trunk seal. I sandblasted my whole car down to bare metal. Later I peeled those trunk seal channels off and there was nothing but rust under them. I used a Mexican seal, but even if I didn't I would have replaced the channel. They are like $7 per 3 feet. |
