Body work help

Few questions here (some I'm sure have come up before, but I couldn't find the topics.)

Right now I'm trying to get my cars ready for paint, and was thinking of trying to paint them myself. In that the first snag is I've got some rust damage on both of them on the rear quarters above the back wheels - on one car its rusted a series of small holes through (I'll try to get a picture tonight) Do you think this is something I could repair?

Beyond the rust repairs, I was planning on completely repainting both cars, and I just wanted to know who some of you have gone about it, and what gets the best results.

Much obliged.

Re: Body work help

I'd say your best bet on the small holes would be to cut and weld, if you dont have any expirence welding then it depends on how big of an area you'd be cutting out.
