Car touch up paint and rust repair need help.?

i recently bought a toyota pickup from 1991 with some rust on it. there not to much rust but enough to want to fix it. it isnt throught the paint. i think i have found everything i need online, color coded auto spray paint, filler, primer sandpaper(s) clear coat and rags. i need to know how to do it and belnd the paint into the rst of the body, and how to do everything else pretty much. ive read the basics but realy need more than that.

It depends on where the rust is located on which panels as to how far you have to paint to “blend” into any adjacent panels. For instance, if the rust is on the rear of a fender, you’ll also have to scuff sand the front door and “blend” the paint into the front door so the color difference won’t be as noticeable. Touch-up spray paint will probably not match the original color exactly since a 91 vehicle has had 17 years to oxidize. One other option is to buy a rust converter product like Rust Bullet, POR-15 or similiar product and apply it to the rusty areas and then touch them up….rather than going the whole method of grinding down to bare metal and patching or using body filler.

This site has a few instructional video’s as to how to fix rust areas and repainting tips.
