[alfa] rust removal part 2

["Christopher Keen" <ckeen74@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have some newbie questions about removing rust from behind the front 
wheels on my '77 spider. I took the advice from last time and I'm going for 
the Eastwood rust encapsulator. All I want to do is stop the rust from 
growing until I can take the car to a body shop to have everything done 
properly. Some of these questions might seem obvious, but I'm doing this for 
the first time so please be patient with me :)

1) When I buy the encapsulator, do I need to buy anything else? I assume 
some kind of wirebrush, and undercoat to replace whatever comes off when I 
remove the inner fender panels to access the inside of the sill/rocker 
panel. What about protecting the inside of the sill? Can I use the 
encapsulator for that, or do I need to use that waxy stuff?

2) Is there any difference between the red, silver, and black encapsulator? 
My car is white, so I'm thinking silver would make the most sense, although 
frankly it's kind of irrelevant since there's a hole in the side of my car 
and until it's fixed anything will look crappy. I'm thinking a spray can 
would be the best method of application (the spot is about as big as a 
chicken drumstick). Any suggestions here?

3) How much work would it take to spray some white paint over the top to 
conceal the wound as much as possible?

Is there anything else I'm leaving out that I should know? Direct replies 
would be appreciated since I'm way behind on the digest reading....

Thanks
