Having done the same type of repair, I would like to share some advice:

- Use an acidic rust neutralizer to get rid of the rust you couldn't sand off
- Use a zinc protector spray before applying the filler (the filler is full of water)
- Do not wet sand the body filler
- Do not sand down the whole part to clear coat it, try to keep the repainted area small
- After a week of so wet sand the whole piece with a 2000 sand paper then polish (the paint color will then be uniform)

Good effort at home..But, you should remove all the rust first inside and outside ie remove the arch liner at least to do this.You have not removed any exterior parts and eventually the paint will flake from these areas.You have filled over the rust and have also used water over bare metal and filler that is porous.An acid etch before primer will also help to keep the rust at bay.

You did an fantastic job with the tools at hand and have given many people really good knowledge on what you did, keep up the good work .

This is a great cheap and cheerful repair for a car that you are trying to get another year or two out of.

Great video for a quick temporary fix but a few things.

1. Always treat the bare metal with a rust inhibitor or zinc primer.

2. Your better of just spray the whole panel evenly with base coat to stop the blending showing through the laquer.

3. Once the laquer has hardened after 48hrs 1500grit wet and dry it till it's eggshell then bring back the shine with cutting compound & a polisher, it will come out like glass.

This video saved me 900 quid. I done this sort of thing simular to my car. Ok it's not as good as this but it looks 90% better than it did before. Thanks so much

The rust will be back sooner than later because it's not near gone. It's evened out, flattened and painted over. And the painting with both color and clear coat should be applied with large movements from off of the part and over it all and out again in a steady motion. Never small movements pressing and letting off the nozzle while directed onto what you're painting.
The big problem here is usually the back side of the rust since the pores usually goes right through. I have found motorcycle chain grease in spray to be quite good in sealing existing rust and keeping it from growing. The inside should be cleaned with a steel brush or something to get the bare metal/rust exposed. Then sprayed with grease. And after some while maybe a spray with a rust protector keeping the grease from drying or getting washed off.

Rust treatment and primer prior to filler. Don’t use any water until you flat your final coat otherwise you risk trapping moisture and causing further corrosion. Don’t mask panel lines on the same plane - blend.

You can get a ready painted new wing/fender for £95 delivered here in the UK ( not sure how much that is in USD ) but to me it’s just not worth bothering by the time you’ve bought the paint/bondo etc you’ve spent half as much if not more than a new one

Definitely You tube is for people like you !!! Your video materials are helpful and very good.

Should’ve sanded the rust down a lot more and even some good metal. This rust will come back fairly soon

Wheel arch rust comes from the back side. Washing the mud and salt from the inside lip of all the fenders frequently will prevent this kind of rust from even starting.

[crappiehookking]

He did pretty good I'm just going to half ass my shit to stop the rust from putting holes in my fenders then paint it with spray paint

[raulaleman]

use green fiberglass in the can its waterproof it will last longer than bondo but put the fiberglass first then bondo for the fine finish

[andrewpaton]

thank you my friend you've saved me a fortune !

[kurthuck]

Nice job! Have done this in past, only problem even with the "rust stop" over rust within a month it will bubble from behind fender. Loosing battle, nice to do if selling car right after doing it.

[MrAzHofi]

rust remover/converter must be used before the filler

[jorgebolivar]

Thank you for sharing, I feel more confident cause my problem is somewhat what you are showing .
