air tools air saw air chizzle....

i work at a body shop, and my advice is dont do it yourself b/c you'll put well over 20-30 hours easily and it WILL NOT be perfect be it is so easy to **** up.

Does anyone know a poorman's method to fix the rust on the 1/4 panel that'll last a while?

My rust is about 3inches long and 1.5 inches high

what i did.

dake a dremel or similar grinding tool. gind off all the rust you can see including inside the car behind the carpeting.

spray a generous amount of "rust killer paint onto it. fill any holes generously with bondo.

let dry for a few days. sand. primer then paint and clearcoat. good as new

lasts about a year, but then again costs almost nothing to do and i hate looking at rust.

ghetto im sure, but im a cheapass.
