Hello everyone, so I've had this issue with rust on my rear quarter panels. I've tried asking around my local area but it seems like nobody wants to deal with rust issues. I bought POR-15 about a year ago but never got around to applying it. I was most worried about making things much worse, so that's what kinda had me from doing anything with the POR15. I wanted to know what you guys think. Is this something that's fixable? If not how can atleast slow the oxidation process?

 

Its fixable, get with a skilled body shop they can cut out and replace all the rusted metal depending on how deep its gone.

 

Fixable for a reasonable amount of money? No

 

Once it is rusted through, the only full repair is to cut it out as mentioned above.
But if you want to slow it down, you'll need to get the por15 on eventually. Better than leaving it to keep rusting.
You'll need to get rid of all the loose rusted areas though and really see how bad it gets under the paint and under the trim.

 

Thank you for responding. I really appreciate it!
I'll look at inquiring at some other body shops and see what they say.

 

Appreciate the response!

Also great point. At the least what I'll do is apply the POR15 before it goes into storage for the winter. Hopefully I'll have something more permanent planned for the spring.

Again, thank you for your input!
