It would be helpful to know were this rust is. If there is alot of rust and you have a welder, it may be better to just replace the whole panel or use patch panels. What kind of a welder do you have? A Mig welder? And you can only weld metal to metal, not fiberglass.

I use a mig welder along with a flanging tool on my patches, makes for a clean repair and adds strengh to the panel.
