I like mixing filler on sheet metal, when I’m done I clean it off with acetone or thinner and reuse the sheet metal for a long time.

Great idea. Just about to start minor body work for the first time

I've watched this video 4, or, 5 times. My 2004 Cavalier needed taken care of (Lower Panels behind doors). Your video has been extremly helpful and the car is looking much better. Though more time would of produced a nicer out come, it is some of the best body work I've ever done. The one of you painting the blue fender is another one I've watched several times and will a few more, as the project is wrapped up. Have a nice morning!

Ayo BRAIN! Not a typo. If you put out a repair/paint manual like Haynes that covers how to paint, prep and fix all paint related issued on all materials, I'd swear buy it in a heartbeat. Your skills are top notch for sure!

Awesome. Gonna try that this weekend on my rear panel! Looked easy enough.

Thanks for the info, really helped as I have a 1979 t2 bay vw that needs work and I can't afford it to be welded. I'll keep watching. Keep up the great work. Chris from the uk

I've had excellent results w/ similar rust. Pound the rust hole in, use por 15 & apply in hole w a acid brush & finish w duraglas. Worked very well

That worked out pretty good. A couple extra steps that might be helpful would be to lightly tap the hole panel to knock off any rust scale on the inside and then tap down the panel a little bit around the holes to get a little thicker patch. Love your channel.

Brilliant. Very helpful. I guess Waxoil would be a good thing to spray onto the back. I used some on an MG Midget in the 80’s and it is still going strong in UK weather.

This is really helpful thank you. I have done this a few times but your tips will make it much better next time.

We just got a Corolla for our daughter that has a rust hole because the previous owner decided not to fix paint damage after a collision… I used for video using rattle cans in the past (2k clear) and it turned out amazing. I love you videos and I can’t wait to tackle this new project car.

Thank you so much. This is a really good and detailed video. I really appreciate it. Thanks again

Glazing putty is NOT for filling holes. It's used for leveling out sanding imperfections/swirls, and small dings. Don't use it to fill holes, it won't last.

Thank you so much Brian! I'm learning alot from your videos!!

Great tutorial. Always been thinking of trying some minor body repair. Thanks.

I use low expansion spray foam for backing ..as well fills voids so water can't penetrate in...works great .cheers

Best autobody repair videos on youtube right here

Very nice video. Can this same process be done if I wanted to shave my radio antenna on my fender or the hood washer squirters?

Did a beautiful job!

Great video showing how to DIY that rust away!! Thats the way I learned when working with my dad flipping cars.

At 1:10 I see some holes in the back panel that are covered with plastic caps. Maybe those can be used to access the inside surface and spray some rust converter. Also, instead of cardboard, a clean, plastic dustpan can be used... most people have those in the house I think.

Watch alot and I'm a sub. Love your videos. I've not painted as much as you but I've restored so many antique tractors, oil well engines, Heavy Equipment, Cars, trucks etc. I know a lil bit. Why not use some reformer or acid on the rust you can't get to with a 360 nozzle to kill the rust? At 14 I helped my dad restore a 1949 chevy truck. Under the rear cab window is a seam that is rolled so you can't even get totally inside of it with a sand blaster, which is what we used. An old man told us to use Ospho. Had no idea what that was. My dad used Rust Mort I think it was called, 28 years ago, but thought the blaster was good enough. Was for about 4 years and we noticed rust. Now we used a syringe and Ospho yo get in there and kill it and we did. No rust now for decades. Even if you gotta drill a small hole or larger one and use a body plug and a small brush to seal edges of hole. Just a thought. I see alot of spot on repairs but ppl leave rust, small tiny pits with rust. I can tell you what happens in a few years, especially in a salty environment, if I can't get rid of all the rust however, it always comes back. Always. Acids get a bad name cause ppl don't use them properly, or use on bad paint. Gotta make sure whatever it is to read and do what is said. Ospho has to be rewetted, let sit for a few minutes and then clean with plenty of water and soap if u like. Then dry 100% with air or heat and then spray epoxy, or whatever primer you want. I have engines and autos from 2 decades ago and no rust still. I believe in Ospho and products like it. I also use products from eastwood that make a job like this easier to get rid of or convert rust for a worry free repair. Not a criticism, just a question for you.

Aluminum HVAC tape, saves alot of effort and last a verry long time as a backer.

Tx for the video. I’d like to add that I saw plastic plugs on the backside of the panel that you might be able to get access to get a vacuum with a small hose attached to get some rust out and possibly scrape some rust. Also then you can get some used motor oil and spread it around to help with slowing down rust

You the best bro thanks alot this really help me👍👍👍👍

Guys like this go straight to heaven!

Great video. Thx for making this vid.

Greetings from Poland. To make it in accordance with the technology, you would need to spray epoxy on the sheet and then putty on it. It is worth it even if the putty is "water-resistant", i.e. without organic fillers. The use of UV lamps with each application does the trick. Technology with epoxy will extend the anti-corrosion resistance more than twice as compared to putty alone (e.g. Sickens). The basis is: epoxy and a UV lamp.

Thank you good job.lot's to learn

@PaintSociety Hey! I have a hole like this in the lower quarter panel of a truck box. Very similar but i have access to the back side of the panel. Would it make sense to use one of these adhesive patches on the inside and leave that patch exposed or how would you cover the patch!? I unfortunately dont have access to weld and trying to avoid replacing the panel...

You did awesome job.

Good trick with the spring putting the backing mesh in it.

Grest video. Great job. And......I am pleased that you mentioned after all your good work to apply some protective coating on the inside through a small hole on this job. I have sprayed rust converter on the inside before patching to kill any surface rust. And after the job is completely finished I use a product called Fisholine. Fish oil. It creaps every where and retards rust for decades if applied well.

Good job sharing

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED!

awesome video ! 😉

Slick thanks for your time 🙂

I am curious about using JB Weld or something similar on rusty pitted areas that are under trim.

Fantastic! Thanks

I now clean the area, cut out rust, dent in the edges, use JB weld to epoxy in a steel patch staying under the surface level then fill it with body filler, have used the fibre reinforced body filler to fill holes before as a stand alone filler with no issues and the repair lasted lifetime of car.

Great video!! Thanks

Can I use this bondo to fill small nicks and dents or do I need another filler??

Doing good job my friend

Thanks, good jobs

Once I do this, how long do I have to get the base and clear coat on?

Thank you awesome tips

Do you think it would be better to use self etching primer before bondo

Knew you was a body man when you started wiping the mud on! Thanks for posting!

Brian I had a similar situation like this and the rust bubbled back through in 2 years. What is a product that is a true rust encapsulator that rust won't be able to push back through? Fiberglass resin? Do you have to coat each side of the panel to truely encapsulate the rust. i know eastwood has a product but it is 1K and I don't trust anything that is a 1k for long term durability. Thanks.

Great video. Thanks.

Great video! All I can really add to this Is there is some plastic caps you could pop off on the underside ( 1:07 )and spray in some rust inhibitor it's not ideal but it would help seal it up and slow down the rust coming back through

I believe he said 80, you can go even coarser like 40 if you have it, quicker and better adhesion.

ciming from a boat back ground, on my farm truck i used fiberglass with epoxy resin to create a backer for larger holes. then used jb weld then filler

that.s bad ass sander i need to get one of them

If the holes are as big as a deck of cards can you still use that mesh or should it be metal?

Can you use spray foam as a backer?

Nice job

What was the brand name of the glazing putty?

Kinda disappointed bondo doesn't sell that metal reinforced fillers in a 55 gallon drum for the folks here in the salt belt. Great Video.

Hello guys, i was following step by step, but painted color is much darker like car color and it is obvious. Of course i bought color by the original code, but i think car color is lighter cause car is old and sun work hard. How to deal with it? Thank you for your advices.

That was awesome...

Very good

I have fluid film at home can I use it instead of cavity wax?

My concern with doing rust repair is addressing the inside of an enclosed area. Have you ever injected a rust converter into the area prior to sealing the outside?

What was added to the glazing putty at 9:55?

Good stuff

You would be far better off to use panel bond and steel on the back side. Any DIY guy should be able to use panel bond and make it a permanent fix. The panel bond will seal the back side and the filler will actually hold because moisture wont get to it. It also has rust preventive wherever it contacts. This reminds me of the 80's when I did it this way as a 16 year old. Moisture will eventually kill this creating rust around the hole. I know. LOL. I seen it.

In addition it is better for those instances when you may need to attach hardware, or drill/tap. Keep fiberglass for the Corvette.

I have a few tiny rust holes on my car and just took it to a paint chip place and they said they would have to paint the whole panel. Are they just trying to fleece me? Or is that what ant professional place would do?

Why didnt he show how the guy rolled the mesh and how he placed it behind the hole ?

The back of the quarter panel should have a 1 inch hole with a rubber 'plug'. I removed the plug and sprayed the inside of the outer metal with Eastwood rust encapsulater. It comes with a flexible tube allowing you to coat the entire inside. Other comments below seem to have done the same with different products.
