Larry,
I agree with you on this but if Mike is looking at a TEMPORARY repair and
doing it right in a couple of years then grinding down the paint and as MUCH
rust (anticipating it is just surface rust) and putting a product called
"RUST MORT" on will solve the problem temporarily and you can fill over top
of it and prep as necessary.
Remember put some kind of paint on it as primer is not waterproof.
IF there is RUST THRU your sunk, bondo will NEVER help.
"Restoringly" Yours,

Replace the section with a repair panel. If you don't do this the rust will
return, trust me.

Subject: Body Work Preparation - Rust and Bondo
All,
I'd like to start working on that bit of rust on my lower quarterpanel
(behind the rear passenger wheel). It's limited to the piece below the
moldings, so paint matching doesn't have to be perfect.
My question has to do with rust and bondo. After I wire brush out the rust,
I'd like to put some type of rust inhibiter to prevent the cancer from
spreading. Spray Can Rustoleum Primer has always worked well on my wrought
iron fences and lawn furniture. But I'm not sure if the bondo will hold to
the paint. If I apply the bondo directly to the bare metal, I'm worried
the water that's trapped might cause the rust to begin again. This needs to
last a few years as I can't spend the money right now to have the work
professionally done.
I only need a light layer of Bondo to fill up the rust depleted portion of
the fender. It shouldn't be more than 1/4" at the worst spot.
Is spray can primer OK after the the bondo work has been done? Any
recommendations or words of advice?
Mike
