is video Mark demonstrates the Finish 1st Large Hole Repair Kit. It's just 1 of the 5 solution-based body repair kits available at AutoZone. Just Prep, Fill, and Sand.

Wouldn’t it make sense to place the mesh to the back/inside of the fender well and then apply filler for the sake of making the surface more level?

Your car will rust again pretty soon if you follow this tutorial (maybe 3-4month). Here is what I do, and it’s good for another 3 year before rust show up again.
1. Remove the rust to BARE shiny metal
2. Apply phosphoric acid( rust converter)
3. Sand it again and do step 2 again
3. Coat it with zinc coat (or por15 after metal preparation, or rust proof epoxy primer)
4. Use fiberglass waterproof bondo to seal and fill the hole
5. Do rest of the paint job

You can’t just leave the pimply bumpy slightly sanded metal there. If you don’t cut it out you have to at least pounded in with the ball peen hammer use that for the backing. Or cover that with POR15 or Chassis Saver rust ceramic type of paint first. Then add your body filler.

Never put on a patch higher than the existing surface because it’ll look like a patch and only last a couple of months or until the first rainfall. You can even jam fiberglass window screen into a hole lower than the surface which is better than an over surface patch lol

I don't think this kit is available anymore?

[charliesmith]

You put the patch on the outside of the body? Or under?

[PatTheBat]

The thought is good but…….you place the mesh on the back so you then can build it up to level. The sanding blocks are way to small and it will be almost impossible to get a nice and even finish.

I can all kinds of ways that this won’t work. That mesh on the outside. Will make a large uneven service. And also this assumes who ever is doing this can paint it probably. Blend it in. Prime base and clear. Wet sand it and make the blend fade in so you can’t see it. Or shoot the entire fender. Blend in the base and re clear entire fender. Either way. I’d say most will fail on this kit
