Hey guys, I searched and found some threads on repairing rust, but no eps/hatch repair.

I have 2 holes on the top of my car right above the hatch. About 2 inches from the stock spoiler. Im guessing the previous owner had a spoiler on and took it off. Anyways.. I was just wondering if any of you have any experience with repairing the SMALL rust and how to cover it? maybe bondo after sanding down? Im a noob so any input would be awesome.

 

If you've never done body work, just take it into a reputable body shop. It shouldn't cost much and it'll give you the peace of mind that your newish car won't rust in the near future. Body work isn't something you can learn overnight.

If you must do it yourself, bondo goes on bare metal, putty goes onto sanded paint/primer. I'd use putty as to not sand through what's left of the factory rust inhibitor.

 

Thanks man. Guess i'll just go that route then. I just dont trust a lot of shops in my area as a lot of my friends cars have either gotten f'd up or stolen mysteriously overnight... guess im gonna have to look around
