Trunk rust, 1/4 in angle die grinder

you mean the sander right? It would be hard to fit that inside some spots where the rust is, I could see a sander if it was all over the trunk, but its in some small curved places.

Flap discs work well as long as you don't get too happy with it.

astra makes a decent tool. I use Cornwell tools almost exclusively. I bought a similar kit from cornwell, cost me 169, but its gearless, meaning it will last longer and it is a one piece body, so it won't loosen up and twist on you. go to any auto paint shop and you can get the rust remval pads. 36 grit will work if you need real agressive work, but they make a less destructive rust remover disc. also, if it is not in a cospicuos place, you can use the rust converters, they really do work. they stop the rust, seal it and convert the iron oxide into a primer. I wouldn't use it on a fender but on a trunk lid gap, it might work great.

Cheap and should do the job for ya...

As for pads/supplies look for a company called Enco. Same company as JL Inudustrial Supply but far cheaper.
