Default Rust on 96 Dakota

Hello,

I have a '96 Dodge Dakota. I have some rust in the wheel wells, as well as some rust on the frame and some other common places. What would be the best way to get rid of, and cover up the rust in these common spots. After getting rid of it I was hoping to paint it, but I need an efficient CHEAP way to get rid of the rust first.

Thanks in advance!

Dan

There are paints that stop rust from spreading. Rust inhibitors here is the first one from a quick search on www.google.com www.rustbullet.com

But if the rust is bad enough where it caused holes or weak/thin metal you will need to cut and weld in new panels.
