I had some nasty rust on the tailgate. Idaho is using really corrosive salt this year. This is not to be perfect bit as a stop gap till I am done with my chemo or when I have the funds for the body work. Thanks to Mark he's got a nice palm sander and good assortment of sanding disc's. There where two spots where 40 grit grinder was used to dig at the deep pitted metal. 

 

 

Then using black primer to match the gloss black I bought today. Help bond the new paint to the metal and hopefully stop the rusting process.

 

 

I've got a few spots on the body where rust blisters are starting and need the blister broke open metal cleaned up and painted to just stop the growth of rust. Again isn't to be pretty or perfect just to seal the metal till I get to the paint process later after my cancer.

 

Looks better! Is the primer you used an etching primer for bare metal? Just curious. 

 I need to do some of the same to my truck. My trouble spots are the rockers, bottoms of the doors and cab corners. 

Yeah I'm getting little things done to fix beast up. Yeah my energy and strength are crappy but I manage to get minor repairs done on the truck. Had to share it not like I'm super busy on my retirement.
