Panels Rusting ALREADY!

Post by Davet »

i got my panels back from the sandblaster last week and they etch primed them for me. i just went out to move them and noticed they left a shit load of sand inside the bottom of the doors and its absorbed a heap of moisture and gone all wet and gooyey... also the doors and panels have started rusting in some spots already wtf is with that! do i now have to strip all the paint off and deoxidize it all and then repaint it again?
