How do you repair rust bubbles on car paint?
I've noticed some rust bubbles on my car paint, and in addition to being an eyesore, I'm a little worried about them affecting the integrity of the car. Is there any way to get rid of these bubbles?

“Good on you for looking out for your car! To get rid of rust bubbles on car paint, follow these quick, easy steps:
- Use a metal scraper to remove the paint and as much rust as you can.
- Rub the area with sandpaper to remove the rust.
- Blow the dust away and remove any fine particles using a rag and mineral spirits.
If this damage was caused by an
