removing rust stains in paint

[4eyedstang]

has anyone here had any luck getting rust stains out of paint?
i have a tire rack on the back of my SUV that rusted and left a stain down the trunk lid and plastic bumper. I took the rack of and sanded and repainted it but i cant get the stain out .

any help would be appreciated

CLR ??? not sure if that would mess up the paint or not tho... might just have to sand/repaint..

Rust is iron oxide if I remember correctly. There for it will etch the clear coat and paint. The damage is done, time to repaint.

rubbing compound maybe?

that may be a stretch.. maybe clay bar?

Ding Ding Ding. If you have little spots of rust on your vehicle most likely it is from the roads. Pick up a clay bar it will remove all of those spots and any oxidation in your paint finish.

We use a bar, then buff. But like Dan said, if it bit the clear you are dead in the water.

Rubbing compound as long as it's on the surface.

I have a small rust spot bubbling under the paint in my hood (FTL) Can anyone on here help me out with it or at least give me some guidance? I don't have a problem doing as much work myself as I can, but I already found out painting is not something I am good at. Would be also willing to trade mechanical labor for it.

Sorry if thread-jacking

x2 clay bar ftw... after that a nice coat of wax and the stain should dissapear!
