Default Rust Bubbles - Dealing with

Chaps,

Just started noticing this coming through, and hoped I could get some suggestions on how to deal with it?



(The discolouration is simply where I have wiped the dirt away on the sill)

The car has has a replacement rear quarter at sme point in its life, just not done that well. The rust bubbles are very minor, but I'm more concerned of it spreading along the seam. For the moment I was thinking of;

1. Rubbing down the raised bubbles, and clearing out the seam.
2. Assess the quantity of rust, and cut/sand out as required.
3. Treat with some form of anti-rust product.
4. Touch up treated spots until 'Chips away' chap can do a quick spray repair.

Any thoughts on checking on inside the sill? this is pretty much my main concern.

Thanks

I would sand/grind away the rust as much as you can, they spray a rust inhibitor over it. After that, you might need some body filler to smooth it back out and respray the area.
