Finally  got around to sanding/scraping rust off of one particularly
bad spot. A  crazy compound dent at eye level on post forward of rear
side window. (what  the h**l did PO back into ?!)  Have primed with
Tremclad gray and have  started on a few other spots as well.

Does anyone know which stock  Tremclad colour best matches the Turd
Brown Vanagon colour?

BTW, if  I'm wasting my time using Tremclad, I'd appreciated input. Am
using it  because I had some primer laying around, and prefer to brush
paint on as  opposed to spraying.

Not looking for perfection, just staving off the  inevitable rust.....

Tremclad  will not stave off rust for more than a few months at best.  BTDT.
 Waste of time.  POR-15 is the only way your gonna top the rust.
