I assume sanding and primer? She may get a paint job someday. For now I just don't want her to rot away.

Can you be more specific please?

Sorry. That whole rusty section on that fender and around the fuel door. The paint is all original with some surface rust. But this section is beginning to rot. Would like to just stop that processhe. Until the day I decide whether to paint her or not. Thanks for your replies!

Pictures would definately help. Sanding is not the best choice for deep rust. By the time you sand the rust pits out, the surrounding metal is real thin. Media blast and then prime and paint. A word of caution, Many primers are not waterproof. If it's temporary, a rust encapuslater may prevent further rust.
