not ready for primer

[OhNoJoe]

I’m doing my mechanical work on my truck right now. But as I look my truck over, the rust while minor is starting to be noticeable to me. I’m sure it’s a function of just paying more attention to the truck and not because the rust somehow decided that now was time the time to spread.

I plan on doing the body work next year. My question is should I try to de-rust the spots I can right now and use some rattle can primer on those spot or should I leave it go.

I know that often rust will spread at a certain pace if left alone but when you fuss at the rust that can cause some un-intended consequences.

Any help would be …helpful including tips and tricks
Thanks in advance,
Joe
