RE Paint

You can also learn how to refinish autos
and buy the equipment and do it yourself. (<$1000)
Depending on the existing paint you can
sand down the finish and use a real good
primer/surfacer that will last foreaver.
If you have any rust, you have to take it down
to bare metal and treat the rust.
If you have any holes you should have patch
panes welded in, but watch for streaching metal
with the high heat.

No. You would need to cut out the rusted area and spot weld in a new panel. grind it smooth. Add some filler, and sand it down
