I've noticed some rust developing on my car which has bubbled the paint (Just surface rust for now). The car (Ford Fiesta 2013) had a major service recently, and came back normal, so I don't think the rust has gone too deep. Picrel is example of damage. How much would you be willing to pay a bodyshop for removal? (UK)
£300-£500, plus or minus VAT.
When you start noticing rust on an unprotected/exposed area, you probably catch it early. When you see bubbles beneath the paint, that shit might have been festering for a while.

If the rust *has* eaten the car from the inside out, then you're looking at something closer to £500-700 depending on how good of a job you want, how far the rust has travelled, and how complex the panel is. I myself would just sand it back to bare metal, spray some rust convertor on it, and call it good, because spending any significant amount of money on a fiesta of that vintage seems like a waste.
blending the paint and the clearcoat is a total mystery to me. i can do the sanding and rust removal but i just get a shop do the rest. last place i went to charged £300 a panel, maybe different now.
