Thanks Patrick, stay well too - we're starting to see a lot of covid cases show up lately around here. I'll have to stay in the garage and make vids - no little covid germs stand a chance against paint fumes :)

Working on a 2004 accord wheel arch rotted out. They don’t make patch panels for it that I can find. So had to build them out of scrap metal. Now just gotta put the body line in this should help me.

This may help out a lot for what you are doing - czcams.com/video/Jk29avqnVXI/video.html

I saw this technique in another of your videos before my wife’s car was repaired. Other guys insurance was paying. When we got it back I ran my hand along the edge and it was slightly off ( don’t tell my wife) and I instantly thought he didn’t use the tape line.

[@LakesideAutobody]

That's funny - Every body does it a bit different in the shops. It's like getting your roof done - some companies are great - some not so great. Thanks for the story :)

Got the smallest bit of damage on my Audi A1 but managed to destroy the rear arch body line and the rear quarter body line god I have my work cut out trying to get them back 🤦 this should help thank you sir .

[@chrisbishop8979]

Great tip! What brand is your yellow tape?? I’ve used the BLUE painters tape...it works Ok, but could be better... THANKS!!

[@LakesideAutobody]

3M Automotive Refinish Tape - with auto body repairs you have to use good tape. This stuff isn't that pricey though.

[@oldergeologist]

Good video. What proportion of your work is rust repair?

[@LakesideAutobody]

Well... a lot right now because I just want to cover a wide variety of rust repairs for viewers. When I worked in suburban shops it was more uni body/frame repair and accident repair on later model cars. Thanks BTW

[@smallenginerepair3379]

Awesome what do u think about the rustoleum high build primer surfacer

[@LakesideAutobody]

I've used the stuff in the spray bomb can before and I think it works fine. You'll have to get your body work pretty darn close though as I have doubts that it would build thickness as well as professional primer surfacers. I could be wrong on that though so give it a try. The stuff in the can says brush on - but I'm thinking you could thin it and spray it - not sure if it's lacquer based or oil based. I'll think about doing a video on that 'cause it's so readily available.

[@smallenginerepair3379]

@@LakesideAutobody I appreciate the comment back you do really good job I've watched quite a few videos on body work but after watching a bunch of yours made me feel a lot more confident you get right down to business thanks for taking the time yeah I think I might go with some better primer you got to do it you might as well do it right

[@peglegtoo]

@@LakesideAutobody It would be great to see a test of how the pro build primers work vs the rustoleum .

[@LakesideAutobody]

@@peglegtoo You are right - I'm on it. Just got to get to it :) I'll do it though - I think there would be a lot of interest in that.

Nice filler work. Welcome to the rust belt. I hate it but necessary.

[@LakesideAutobody]

Thanks Bear - I never worry about using filler - If applied correctly it lasts forever and is never noticed.
