Has rust in the corner of the rear window. And the passenger rear corner under the bumper caps.

I was thinking I would sand it out, prime it, and get some paint that matches my jeep made up in a spray can.

Anyone got any better ideas? Thanks for any input

A good way to ultimately get rid or rust is to sand off the existing rust, bondo if needed, and then use bedliner to paint the body. You can go all the way up, or just to the window line. But bedlining is really rugged and won't chip off even if scratched or exposed to salt, etc...

That rust on your window is right where mine is. Mine is just barely showing signs of bubbling paint, but none the less needs to be dealt with... Prob gonna rhino line it soon... You can do this to the inside of your rig, too, but it might cause heat issues on hot days.
