Please Help! (v.Cancer)

So I noticed today that my Corrado has cancer.... What should I do to stop this? I cannot afford to get it painted at the time either...

Rear passenger fender...


Rear of dassenger door.

Oh crappy!!! I would sand it all down and put a good rust inhibitor on it like por 15. The por 15 will kill any rust you cant get or miss. Then go to a paint supply place and have a rattle can of your paint made and try to blend it in as good as possible. It will be better having a barely noticeable paint spot than a hole!!

Man that stinks. Well, you'll have to neutralize the oxidation. There is probably a chemical that will stop the rust immediately and may even aid in removing the oxidation. I would plan on some sanding and then when you get below the rust you'll need to prime it with some good primer and then repaint with matching color.

Make a check behind the fender to make sure its not on the other side, or any work you do on the outside won't matter. I'm not any kind of expert when it comes to body work, but I do know that you need to act fast on that rust or you will be elbows deep in repair panels, tack welding and bondo.

paintscratch.com has some good selection on color. I ordered some for myself but haven't had a chance to spray it yet. I got touch up bottles and the 16oz spray bottles as well so I can paint bigger areas that I need to get and I want to paint front and rear emblems too.

I have a spot on my rear passengers door that had some bad bodywork done to it and the paint flaked, so preparation is the best thing you can do for long lasting durable finish.

Oh, and can you make your pictures a little bigger...I can't see anything!

Well I just tackled it.. I sanded it down to bare metal and sprayed over it with some dark green rust preventative paint. It doesn't look too good, but alot better than rust.

It actually wasn't that bad, mainly surface rust.
