How should I go about repairing this? My coupe is immaculate except for this.

I personally would sand that small area down, use a rust inhibitor, then etching primer, then paint and try to blend in as best as possible. When you start getting more bubbles, then it might be worth cutting up your 1/4 panels.

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

P.S. Any recommendations on the rust inhibitor?

Thanks.
