The most amount of rust was found on the hood,, mostly b/c of the hood bird and the humidity it held,,,,we striped this all off with a chemical paint stripper,,,, and then we applyed a special primer that "eats up" the rust, and then grinded it off again which only left a small amount of rust on the car,,, we then sanblasted the hood to get the rest off
