Welcome to the site! I would say that metal is the only way. If your not an experienced with working with metal then I would have it done. I myself hire out my metal work as well. The rust area needs sand blasted and the bad areas cut out and replaced with new. That is the best option but in a lot of places that is not possible. Can you describe the area in question or post pictures. We all love to see pictures.

Probably rusted near the corners of the condensation trays. Some of the guys here have become very good in sectioning metal repairs. Do you have some Pics of the damage?
