Hi guys,
So some idiot hit my precious Murano the other night, the car was parked and I think it happened during the night. The dent is in the fender, it's not major but paint did come off. It's seems the primer is still there, but a little bit of rust is building. I don't want to fix the fender right now, but I don't want rust to eat through the metal.
Should I just put some paint on the spot where paint came off or send it, prime it and paint it?
thanks a lot,

Get it covered soon!
If this just happened the other night and rust is already forming.......
Since it sounds like your doing this yourself, at the very least I would gently sand off any signs of rust and give it a couple of coats of primer, then a finish coat to match the color as best as you can.
good Luck |

| I like to use a small Dremel tool with a rotary wire brush to remove it to down to the metal. I think apply primer, a coat or two of paint and after that dries then I overlay the area slightly with clear nail polish. |

I've also had great luck with Duro Extend. You can put it on straight away, no sanding or anything. It catalyzes rust into plastic.
I put it on a very rusty spot on an old VW buss on the top and painted white over it. I had the buss 3 more years and it never bled through.
It's kind of ugly though, turns a dark purple if you have mixed it right and applied it well. |

Go ask a body shop what to do.
They will probably spray it for you on the cheap.
If you do "other things" you leave your self open to the inevitable "What the *(^&*%&% did you put on that fender", when it comes time to get it fixed properly.
