  3. You're gonna want to cut out the rust, paint any bare metal black to stop the rust from spreading. Get a sheet metal and weld a patch on, fiberglass it, and paint it. The holes on my Dakota were clean through to the inside of the door, and now they look like they should again.

    there are 7 rangers i can choose from within a 100mile area of me in a junk yard, not one of them are anywhere close to my color, and im pretty sure they may be just as bad

    OR if it's just surface rust, Sand it down to bare metal, POR15 it, prime it, and then repaint it.

    What year truck do you have? It doesnt look like you have it in your sig. Do me a favor and make one please.

    If it isnt surface rust, I would definitely suggest just getting a new door. And POR15 is available at most decent auto parts stores (NAPA, O'Reillys, etc) POR means pain over rust.

    That stuff and Chassis Saver are amazing products. It dries glossy and feels like a powdercoat almost.
