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.
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
When possible, but on a small section of roof you wouldn't be able to reasonably access the underside without extensive headliner, etc, removal. I find it helpful to slightly dent the area the patch is going over so that you can use filler to builds back up to the level area when placing behind is not an easy option.
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
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
1. Painting and blending is not hard at all, there are a lot of tutorials online and I succeeded even I knew nothing and have 0 experience in the bodywork. Just watch and learn plus a bit patient. 2. Never wet sand a body filler especially on rust area. Pores in body filler will suck the moisture in and speed up the rust process.
Good simple video. Finally.

Pretty much! And if you keep your car oiled after fixing in the method you are saying, it may never even come back
pretty sure the point of the video was about fixing the hole not so much repairing the rust
i try this tomorrow!
Love this
Best video not to long straight to the point thanku
Will this work on a hole on plastic bumper cover?
thank you Mark i was really wanting to know how these patches worked now i know lol :)
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?
Absolutely!

Actually this video is a great example when mesh can't be placed behind due to accessibility issues
now sitch to the 1800000 grit to remove 900000 grit scarches
Sand change and repeat lol. Just treat it like washing your hair!
You got to remove the rust first
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.

You put the patch on the outside of the body? Or under?
I would put it under.

I don't think this kit is available anymore?
