way to go lowlife4life, i like how some people let others do what they want and dont bitch about other peoples cars looking gay

 

I wrote this out earlier here it is again it is for a fiber glass repair depending on how bad you rust is ect.
Then again I do not know what you are going to do but this is the steps for a repair

Alright lets get started then
As i said if you do not have some air tools this is going to take a little longer but it can be done in a short amount of time

Materials needed: Grinder with grinding and cutoff wheel - Rubber gloves - fiberglass resin ( comes with resin and a hardener this is liquid) - old *** cooking bowl that you will not need anymore - fiberglass mesh (the woven mesh it looks similar to a cloth) - palm sander - medium and fine grit sand paper - paint brush (cheap one) - primer (i prefer the gray) - paint thinner - mixing stick - scissors - old towels - [ ok bondo is optional i prefer not to use it the **** will crack over time the fiberglass will not, plus with some sanding you will not need to use it] ]

to start off you will need to grind out the rust spot if it is small enough or cut it out if it is larger, and knowing honda's it is

second you will need to either grind away the paint around the rust or sand it about 3 inches beyond the rust point

third you should clean the area off with some paint thinner to clear away the dust from sanding or grinding

fourth you need to get your fiberglass mesh out of the package and cut it to fit with a pair of scissors about a 1/4 inch before the end of the paint that you sanded or ground off

fifth you need to mix the resin take the resin and pour it into the bowl and then add the hardener ( i reccomend to add a little less hardener than the directions call for this will allow for the manipulation of the mesh unless your are in a cold environment)

sixth put on your rubber gloves and place your cut piece of fiberglass mesh into the bowl and coat with resin at this time place yor brush in the resin

seventh place your resin coated mesh over the hole that you ground or cut out

eighth smooth out the resin with your gloved hands and then take out the brush from the bowl and tap the excess resin off then smoothe out the fiberglass mesh until it is as smooth as you can get ( this will cut down on your sanding)

ninth allow the mesh to dry completely it will lose the tackiness and become really hard

tenth bust out your sander and get the resin as smooth as possible wile conturing it to the car with the medium grit sand paper and then the fine

&lt;this is where the bondo step would come in if you really and i mean really **** up the the process and have areas that can not be contured by a sander&gt;

eleventh spray the resin area with the primer of choice

Now you have yourself a multi colored honda but with no rust

I hope this helps uot at least one person and if you have any questions pm me i will answer them Good luck

Just a side note, and this may not apply to every type of fiberglass, depending on brand etc but I would advise to wear a mask and goggles, and cover up as much skin as possible when sanding, esp your hands and arms. I got some of the dust on my arms once and it itched like **** for days. Also try to not the let the dust get airborn......
