Already check that, the bodyshop manager said it has to be a actual hole through the metal or to see through it and it's 6 years or 100,000 miles which ever comes first..

most bodyshops will just sand it down and repaint the panel, few years later it will be back.
The manager told me that he would sandblast it and then mud in any pits in the metal and coat it with a special sealant that would have to set at least 2 days and then paint it, does this sound right!!!

How long would this be warrantied for? My guess is this is a DD. Weather in OH isn't much different than here. I say it'll come back. Mud is temporary IMO. Climate & extent of rust removal buy time. A key is, it's all about prep. The paint on top can be top notch, but if u have crap underneath. Like the saying, if u have a weak foundation, how good can u expect the rest of house to be? That is my best explaination. Prolly not what u wanted to hear.
