Default Paint and Body

i dont know if this is a repeat post or not but hey... move it.

Rust is coming through paint on truck its surface mainly right now..
but i really dont want to sand and destroy my s^&*. I honestly have little knowledge of body work or paint. Not my cup o' tea. Should i just pay to get it fixed now before anymore damage is done???
Im already tearing the differential apart anyway so moneys getting flushed (kinda)

any info would be great

Depends man. Alot of times if you want it fixed right your gonna pay for it. Where's the rust at? If its on the door bottoms you can get new doors or sand the stuff down throw por15 on it then rhino line over it or pay. I had an f150 I paid a guy over 1500 to fix some rust ad repaint it when I was 17 came out of my pocket and when I sold it two years ago it was back and worse.
