Paint

[Stan n van]

I have a new toy for xmas which I am intending to use on the van. It has a couple of areas where the paint has bubbled with rust underneath that I want to have a 'prevention is better than cure' attack on. I haven't done any work on the bodywork before and assuming when I sand/grind it there is metal left what is the best method for treating, filling/priming/painting it. Colour wise I think Jon (username) flatbed looks a really good colour match but what do I do about getting paint/which is the best for 'touch up' jobs with a brush/roller (although I do know someone with a compressor with air gun so might be able to try that). For any bits on seams is it best to use the seam filler stuff I have seen other threads talking about.

All tips/product recommandations greatly received. I have aquasteel I have used on the chassis.

Use phosphoric acid to neutralise any rust, but don,t get it on good paintwork. Use as little filler as possible as it,s porous and moisture
will get under it.
The best primer is stuff called "Zinga". Used for offshore rigs etc, but it is horrendously expensive
