Reply to "paint without water sanding"

Mark, I had bought a replacement but it had too much gap around it. I grind away all the loose rust and shine the metal. Then I brush on a product from Rust-oleum rust reformer # 3575 it starts out white and dries black and hard. The same stuff I mopped through the hood ribs. An old textile product, everything in a dyehouse rusts from the salt used in production. Maybe it will last a little longer anyway.
