Ive had my car for 10 years now, it has almost always sat outside (street parking), and even when I had the opportunity to park in the garage during the day it would sit in parking lot under the sun while I am at work.

The black lines are starting to peel and develop some rust. What are my options for stopping/fixing this? How much would it cost?

See pictures below.

Thanks!

 

Check your warranty. If I remember, we have a 7 year rust coverage. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

Car is 10 years old its a 2003.

None of the actual silver paint showing any signs of rust or peeling... so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction of maybe taking these black parts off or masking them off and redoing them? Im not a car guy, but Ive painted stuff before

 

Extensive floorpan rust isn’t as common, but dry-rotted weatherstripping and leaky heater cores often lead to isolated trouble spots like trunk floors and areas that lie under water-soaked carpet in the passenger compartment.

 

I am not a car guy... i have no idea what any of what you said mean :P

I am hoping to take these black mouldings off and repaint them? However I am not sure what kind of paint to use? Any black automotive paint? Or what the process is? Like do I prime it, then do like 3 -4 coats several hours apart? then do a clear coat paint on top of that? for total of 4-5 layers?

Where do I get the paint? Pep Boys or Autozone sell it?

what about the part that I cant take off? like the top of the doors, where the arrows point to rust spots?

 

paint ... thats the bes t way.

 

Plast dip should do it.

 

Would this cover wheel well rust, where could i get more info on this ?

 

You could paint or just order new body mouldings for the Evo. They are expensive though and hard to ship.

The door pillars would have to be repainted.

 

Is there a guide somewhere on how to repaint? How/where do I get the paint?
