Actually, if you had a white on yours...it was probably aluminum rot. Which is not a good thing. I hope you got all of that off of it by sanding because it comes back under the paint and eats away the aluminum. My long bed 301 had a touch of that that I had to remove some of the paint to get to. I used my Dremmel on it and carefully monitored it to make sure I had gotten it all off.
