So i decided to attack rust on my front and rear wheel wells along with lower side of doors. I decided instead of trying to match the paint I would paint it black. Here are my pictures so far. Its not completely done, right now its in primer.
a few months ago this is what it looked like, over the winter the rust got baaadd

man my truck is rusting really bad above the rear wheels and the bottoms of the door. im gonna have to replace the doors eventually. its rusting from the inside out. i have rust stains running down my door sills. but the stuff above my rear wheels lokes like my truck has warts under the paint or something it sucks.

yea those rust bubbles suck, i kinda waited a while to actually do this and i regret it because it pretty out of hand, i definitely will see rust soon still with all this work.

I don't have to match my white paint anymore! I have rust along the wheel wells a little bit. I think I'll just herculine my fenders with the leftover from the floors when I decide to get the stuff...

ok so here it is with the tape coming off





and with everything reinstalled again, except running boards which are staying off.

I'd ditch the chrome strips. Just my two cents. they're big time rust contributors.

X2, i like it better without them too, but to each their own

You should have used Por-15 over the rust before the primer. It would take a long while to rust through that stuff.

I didn't just paint over the rust, I grinded/ cut it all away.
