B Pillar Rust
http://g35driver.com/forums/attachme...0321-00090.jpg
Got something similar to that on my 2000 Mazda Protege, but no as severe, that's just the first picture I found. Rather than plastdipping as I originally planned, I'm looking to cover it up with gloss black vinyl. What do you guys think? Here are some pictures of what I'm talking about http://media.photobucket.com/image/g...00512-0756.jpg http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...-b-pillar-look http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...930&highlight= http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=781342 (scroll down) http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/1st-ge...lar-vinyl.html |

Make sure you remove the rust before covering it up.

Is it required to sand it down? How would I go about prepping the surface?

It depends how bad it is, but I would get as much rust off as I can with a wire brush or a bit of sand paper, then use naval gel. You are going to want a smooth surface for applying the vinyl, so you may want to use a bit of a bonding or epoxy to fill and smooth the surface if it's a large spot.

Those pillars are removable, go to a junk yard and buy replacements.
