Default Nasty bit of Rust!

Hey guys, Ive got a nasty bit of rust just above my wheel arch, Ive rubbed it back and painted it and all was well. Two weeks later two bubbles appered and when pressed water came out. Anyone know how i can stop this happening or a good link to D.I.Y body repair! HELP!

Treat it with kurust before you fill/paint it always works for me.

I think you will find that it is rusting from the inner pannel out. and the only way to stop it is to cut all the rust away and put in new metal

Agree as above you need to repair by removing bad rust and also treat and seal on both sides
