Beginner Body work

OK all you body guys, this weekend i am going to start tackling rust.

What is the process of this? I dont know any body guys and have never really prepped a car before.

Who ever had the scamp before painted over the paint. It looks like they painted gold over white, then painted white again over that.

Some places like the hood and fenders are peeling, you can probably see this in some of the pictures in My Garage.

Other places are cracking, like over sharp edges, like the area on the door, where it goes from the horizontal part to the verticle part.

Others are bubbled and i was out at lunch today popping these, some have the other paint under them, and other spots have rust in different stages.

The worst area for this seems to be the trunk area, the rear window, and the panel in front of the trunk lid.

So, do you sand the whole car, neutralize and primer it yourself? If so, how many cans does it take. Or do you just take care of the spots, neutralize and primer the areas you sand and make your car look like a giraffe, or in my case a sick zebra?

If you guys do it your self, what kind of sander and paper do you use and whats the best primer to use?

If you have a shop do the whole thing, whats a ballpark price for this?
