Here is prime example of 1) how not to fix a rust spot. 2) NEVER NEVER NEVER use plastic body fillers. I'm sure at one time this was a small hole or rust spot that was fixed with plastic filler (Bondo and the like). Plastic fillers attract water and hold it thereby rusting any and all unprotected metal underneath. Not to mention that this was a very poor repair job in the first place.

Not all Bondo's are equal.
I use a brand called Evercoat that sells some products that mix styrene with the Bondo to produce a WATERPROOF material. Read the can to see if it is waterproof. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Ken |
