accord gas cap rust
ok, i'm yet another victim of the infamous rust found under the accord's gas cap. It's like 3 inches long and 1.5 inches high. I have no experience at all with body work and wouldn't feel good about doing it myself so i think i'm going to take it to a body shop. About how much would it cost me to remove the rust and smooth over the spot so i can touch-up paint it?
thanks

hmmm...well they basically remove the whole part... weld on a new pice of sheet metal, and then finish it up.... it would prolly cost a good penny, but im not too sure, so dont take my word for it.
Doing a good bondo job isn't TOO bad if you take your time. The rust is not guaranteed to not come back though. Just make sure if you do the bondo yourself, GET ALL THE RUST OFF!, do LOTS and LOTS of sanding and take your time.
If you do go to a body shop, let me know how much they quote you for the sheet metal weld job.
