How To Repair Rust
Rust is the number one enemy of car bodywork. Superficial rust damage can be dealt with using an anti- rust primer and touch-up paint. But if a body panel has rusted right through, more drastic action is required.
You will need the following:
Fibreglass repair kit, filler, anti-rust primer, sander
Step 1:
Cut away all the damaged metal.
Step 2:
Sand it thoroughly and apply anti-rust primer to the bare metal.
Step 3:
Cut a piece of expanded metal from the repair kit to fit inside the hole.
Step 4:
Mix the resin and hardener according to the instructions.
Step 5:
Work the resin into a piece of fibre-glass mat, cut to cover the hole.
Step 6:
Press the mat onto the repair area - we're using a piece of cling film - and smooth it down.
Step 7:
When the resin has set, peel off the cling film.
Step 8:
Sand the fibreglass smooth.
Step 9:
Finish off with some fine filler before sanding again and painting.
