BigChief, all the advise sounds good on the rust repair. When you are ready to paint go to the GM dealer. I always buy their spatter paint. It was still available last year when I last ordered a case. Spatter paint is water based and will get messed up if the trunk gets wet for any reason. You can get a clear coat for spatter paint that will protect it. I recomend you use it, I learned the hard way on that one.
