i've been fixing up the sills on my sierra and i cut of the bracket on the sills and there was a bit of surface rust underneath so i ground that back but now i'm left with a few spots where the rust has eaten into the metal a bit but i cant get into them to sand grind them
what would be the best way to fix it so i can paint over it and not have to worry about it rusting anymore?

Cheers

I have had pretty good results from a Septone product called Rustprime.

use a die grinder to clean up the small spots
