Rust bubbles

[stuartmmcfc]

There’s a couple of small, hard, bubbles on the boot of my car near the edge. They’ve been there for a couple of years at least.
Bearing in mind the cars in a dry garage, doesn’t get wet and colour match is potentially a nightmare I’m going to leave it and see what happens.
The cars in otherwise excellent condition and relatively valuable do you think I’m doing the right thing and if I ever came to sell it ( no intention at the moment) would it help to sort it beforehand?

Rust does one thing, it turns into more rust.

No you're not doing the right thing,a small repair now could turn into a big repair further down the line.
It will get worse,that's a fact.

It sleeps below 50% RH - http://workshopcompanion.com/Demos/Sawdust_Session... = good luck with that in the UK, though...

Post up pics of offending area

If you're getting bubbles on the leading it. it's caused by salt and moisture working its way through the inside of the boot lid and eating its way out. In simple terms, if you see bubbles, the rust has eaten through the metal and once you take a grinder to it, you'll find that the affected area is much bigger than what you see.

Find a good bodywork shop, get it done, when done if you think the boot area is susceptible to damp spray it with WD40 when in storage and place one of these in the vicinity.(Apologies for poor scan.)
Whether your showing your car or selling it, people see rust bubbles and think it's the tip of the iceberg.
