Yeah I'm asking.

I bought the Touch paint pen and need to get around to using it.

Question is, I have one or two small spots with a little rust in them. Should I use a small dremel tip to clean them out or just touch right over them?

Do I need to prep the area first with anything?

I recommend using rust converter first like the Duplicolor Rust Fix before applying the touchup paint.
