Car Rust

joey54 · 2007-10-16 12:36:26

Anyone know of a reasonable garage that would treat rust on a door panal of car. The area of rust is about the size of a 50c peice. Any ideas as to how much this will cost? Cheers.

If you don't need a "as new" appearance, i.e. a full respray, you can do it yourself very cheaply.

Grind the rust down to bare metal, prime with anti-rust primer, use filler and then sand it to a fine finish and paint over it.

Ca. 20 euros in materials and a few hours work (most of it drying time)

The repair will be visible, though
