I have rusted wheels (guess a common thing for steel wheels) and i also have rust on the driver side door sill. I want to just buy a can of some spray paint (Silver for the door sill and hubcabs) and black for the wheels. Since it is just plain house spray paint and not automotive paint can i just spray it on top of the existing rust or do i have to sand first. How will will normal silver spray paint match to a Poly Silver Matalic that my car is painted with?

when my ex painted his car, he & I used sandpaper to even the surface & make a clean surface. With the rust I would even & get it smooth before painting, other wise ur going see all the imperfections. I’m not sure if the spray paint will match. U can get the match paint at the auto store. hope this helps. U might want to use a clear coat to seal the paint. Good luck.
I have rust in a few spots my self. What you will really need to do is get a drinder and grind it to the bare metal. Then primer it, followed by the actual paint that came with the car, then do a clear coat.

dont really care for the imperfections only way the rust is seen is by opening the door so i dont really care to smooth it out
not wanting to “fix” it just want to cover it cuz looking at it every time the door is open is annoying i am anal like that. Just wanna make it silver dont care if it dont match the paint just dont wanna see rust.
