Stampede Repairing rust on powder coating

[KRedman]

I noticed a spot where the powder coating has chipped away near a screw. Is the best way to fix this to simply sand down the rust on both sides and repaint?

Thanks!

That's what I would do.

I did some grinding and welding on my grill. I used POR15 to coat the bare metal and that stuff is AWESOME! IMO it is a lot more durable than normal paint.

Customer service will send you a small bottle of touch up paint if you give them a call.

Here's a thread on mine when I had the same. https://www.recteqforum.com/threads/peeling-paint-on-the-lid.3932/

Use this stuff, just bush some on and it will turn the rusted area black and stop the rust. I'm been using products like this on vehicles for over 30 years, it just works, it's quick and simple.

That’s interesting and sounds ideal. Do you paint over it, or leave it as-is?

How has it held up so far?

Since it turns black, nearly the same color as the existing black paint, you don't have to paint it, though you can if you have some touch up paint. I actually used some last weekend on the corner of the black part under the cookbox that had a small amount of rust on one of the sharp bends and after it cured, I can hardly see where I applied it.
