Rust at rear wheel wells, leaks into trunk

The stuff that I used was black. It was like rustproofing (but most
of that type stuff never really hardens). When sprayed into the
wheel wells, it looked like part of the car, particularly after a few
miles of dirt collected. So it didn't need painting.

If the holes are visible from above (through the trunk), then you
might only want to spray from underneath, and then fill the top side
with some caulk that you know will accept paint. I'm pretty sure that
most rubberized surfaces will cause appearance problems when painted.

Actually, what I have is rust right above the wheel wells, i.e. in the
quarter panel.
The hole is visible from the trunk if the upholstery is removed, also
visible is
the path of corrosion from the hole to the bed of the trunk.

Sounds like a good candidate for the Por-15 solution as at this point,
the car is terminal anyway..
