    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!

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

Those which do not require welding, but still have to be treated well if we don't want them to show up again a year after? i really liked Garage Noise's videos, but most of his issues are a bit more dramatic than what I was asking about :) What I mean is how to handle small rust bubbles discovered in the paint, which not necessarily require any welding...

    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.

      Panel bond is a miracle substance. I know some guys who have even used it for filler.
