It worked fine for me. I wasn’t going for looks though becuase it’s a work truck I was just trying to prevent the salt on the roads from slowly making my truck disintegrate
You did an awesome job Auto Picasso! Even the best make an error every now then, You were multitasking painting & teaching!!! Keep bringing the knowledge👍🤓👍
+Toni Starks Thanks for checking us out! We're always looking to add more types of videos to our channel, so we'll keep this recommendation in mind! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
there's lots and lots of undercoats just depends on how you want to tackle the job at hand etc..... is it your car or are you working for a car dealer etc....
How has that stood up to the test of time? Because I find that if I just use primers it only last about AT MOST 3 years before I see the rust eating through the paint again. And this could be something like the top of a trunk lid
Thanks for the video! I’m going to tackle this myself after watching this. I did see another clip where the guy folded the tape over n itself to create a soft edge which looks like it might work well
I need to do this with my 2012 Ram 1500. Right rear quarter panel is rusting behind the paint between the bumper and the fender well. I'm gonna have to remove my rear bumper to get behind it tho. I plan to apply black rhino liner under the body line on both sides of the truck front to back to help protect it from future salt and chip damage
when a mechanic does autobody work.... lol good video to mitigate a small problem turning into a big one. Lol i got to tell my self allot of times, it dosnt matter if its far from good, as long as it looks good from far LOL. Ive used rattle can a few times and I know where all the issues are, but hardly anyone else ever picks up on it. lol
not to bad at all, i have a similar project i do have the professional guns tools etc... but don't feel like taking them out, just want to make it look ok to good, llike you say its not a 100,000 dollar vehicle, again nice video.
I know this is an old video, but I was always told to go in circles and keep moving when hand sanding, but you went in straight lines, so does it not matter wether circles or straight ?
+Will4May Thanks for watching! The main thing is to have the sand paper on something flat, not just your fingers. We use a sponge in this case, bit if you have a block that will work as well!
what about the backside of those panels which are surely rusted worse than the outside? What is missing is how to treat the inside as well as the outside because the cosmetic fix is not going to last long at all.......I would suggest unbolting the fender and treating the rust with phosphoric acid ( Naval Jelly) and repainting it with some really good frame paint to prevent recurrence.
That’s true once rust starts it’s because it’s already on the Inside think of it as a Cancer on metal. That repair will rust out again from the inside. This is a patch job
So looking into die grinders so I can begin on some smaller areas on a resto project but what about for large panels? Previous owner replaced the fender but never treated it so it is covered with surface rust. I do not no much about die grinders but it seems it would take forever to do an entire panel with such a small tool. What's the alternative?
Electric and pneumatic orbital sanders are available, for reasonable cost, from all the home centers with disc size up to 6 inches. Usually for wood working, but also excellent for body filler on larger areas. I've even used a belt sander for rough work on large panels. Final finishing of large panels are best done by hand with a long leveling block.
I didn't have any power tools i bought a 66 impala, i hand rubbed the entire body with compound after i was done i gave it three coats of wax the dude that sold the car walked up to the car and said i had a car the same year but it wasn't as nice as this one!!!
