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.

QUOTE(thesey914 @ Oct 2 2003, 11:09 PM) Is that 2 pack primer that is hazardous to health? Is there a good primer that is able to be sprayed without breathing apparatus (like in my garage)?? I was just going to etch prime and then use normal grey primer then filler -after blasting all the black pitting away back to good metal In my experience anything that claims "environmentally friendly" or "non toxic" just doesn't work as well as the "bad stuff". Buy a good respirator, seal off your garage, keep your young children out and do a good job. If you want to do it again three years from now, just use the cheap primer and cheap paint. |
