rust under paint

[capt. dan]

I am going to do a detail on a 68 Triumph TR250 that has the paint bubbled from rust underneath. Should I avoid these spots with the PC? Has anyone detailed a car with this problem? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks

Avoid those spots because there is a good chance the paint could flake right off.

do not touch those spots or a few inches around them



tell the owner you will not be responsible for the spots as there is no way to tell

what is still holding the paint on

Here is the car

Here you can see the bubbles from the rust. The paint seems pretty hard and attached good.

Here is some of the paint that has flaked off.

Any thoughts and ideas on the whole car is greatly appreciated.



Thanks

that might not be rust

it almost looks like bad prep from a cheap repaint

(the same reason the paint has chiped off)
