This was my first attempt at rust repair. I think it came out pretty nice. What do you think?

I used spot putty for the small amount of filler needed,then roughed up the paint and sprayed paintable undercoating over both kick panels.

Looks good. I have a lincoln 110vac and run gas with .023" wire and it'll make new sheetmetal to fill gaps.
