[QUOTE="jetrocker, post: 977811, member: 19005"] The lower sandwiched sheet metal lip on my 2010 Raptor has bubbling paint, which of course indicates rust under it. This is going on on the rocker as well, on the rocker surface above the curved transition from the lip (on the actual sheet metal surface). Not rampant, but fairly present in a lot of areas. I haven't done anything yet aside from scrapping a little bit and tapping around. It actually appears that there is no perforated metal areas, at least not yet! My question is...what is the best methods to remove the paint in these areas down to bare metal (rotary wire wheel, scrapping tool, something else?) without making a further mess of the surfaces? My intent here, since it's basically underneath the truck or nearly out of eyesight (behind the running boards) is to get back to good bare metal, rattle can spray a rust inhibitor primer, and then finish coat a universal black Rustoleum...so that I can stop further rusting. I'm hoping it's not coming from the inside of the metal out and just started rusting under the poorly applied paint originally from the factory. Maybe a pipe dream... Thx, Mark [/QUOTE]
