I just noticed a thin line of rust (1/16" to 1/8") just under the body belt line on my '31 Tudor on the body panel to the rear of the door on the curbside. It looks like the paint may have bridged over the groove when the body was repainted (---20 years?) and is now flaking off in this sharp recess. Any good way to touch this up or, at least, arrest further development? This is the belt line accent that has the straw colored striping. From 3' away it's hardly noticeable and I'm not trying to maintain a "points" car.
