Having trouble adding pictures so hopefully this works.
I apparently screwed something up when trying to prevent some rust on my burb. I've had the vehicle since 2011, in no salt states until I moved to the rust belt in 2017. This summer I noticed some cancer starting, passenger side front wheel arch was the worst. Tried to get ahead of it but somehow made it worse... hopefully someone can tell me what I did wrong and send me in the right direction. Here's what I did:
-Washed whole body
- taped passenger front rocker off
-hit it with a green brillo to take the shine off
-put naval jelly on the rust spots for about 15 minutes. Cleaned with water
-320 grit on the rough spots. Cleaned with mineral spirits
-2 coats of rust killing rustoleum primer
-4-5 light coats of silver, duplicolor aerosol
-2ish coats of duplicolor clear
First pic is what the passenger side looks like now, 6 months later. For comparison the second pic is what the driver side looks like. Haven't touched the driver side since I bought it.
Any help would be awesome. Don't need it to look perfect, I'm just looking to keep the metal in tact for a few years until I can afford to have the body straightened and
