i got some minor rust on my rear wheel wells.Its little, but nasty to look at. Is there any pointers you guys got about getting rid of it? me and a buddy are going to do the work ourselves, OR should i take it into a body shop and let them do it? Also, should i get the paint touched up after or get the whole outer shell done so it all looks even??

Any advide/pointers would help.

The only way it will look good is to have a body shop touch that spot, then clear the whole quarter. Anything else won't look that good, but if you don't care about
the looks that much, do it as cheap as you can.

 

Hondas are infamous for rust on the panels. In my opinion, if you're going to do something then do it right. Take the car to a body shop and have them take care of it. You'll be happier with the results down the road.

What my friend recommended (and helped me/did for me) was when I hit a deer, cut out a "C" shaped piece from above the wheel where Hondas rust, then cut one out of the fucked up hood. Welded in the new piece, sanded and painted, and looks like a dream. Also, it's painted on both sides so it won't start rusting again O.o. Smart patchup for the honda notorious rust deal.
