Buffed off the paint transfer from her car, sanded and sprayed the bare metal areas with rust-olem rust reformer (a sealer like primer for bare metal) to keep the rust away until I can begin body work.

Looks better, I think. Not good, but better.

I can fix that fender ;)

It's going to look like Milo so you know. You shouldn't mask where you're priming, it causes ridges ;) We could do some of the other areas we looked at also to show how I fix those!

I'm planning to paint the whole car when body work is done, no masking when the work begins.
