Car Fender repair rust & paint at home Diy

Okay, so today we're repairing rust on a fender We're going to repair the rust and repaint the entire fender. I'm going to show you how to do it step-by-step Okay, I've went into my parts store, and I've given them the color code of this car Sometimes you'll find it in the glove compartment or it could sometimes be inside one of the rear doors And that way you can match the color of your car and have it put in an air saw can which saves you having to have a compressor or a spray gun Okay, so the first thing we're going to use is our angle grinder with a flat disc in it We're going to try and sand away as much of the rust as we can Okay, so if this was a newer car We'd probably be replacing the fender because it's quite rusted. What we're going to do for now is just to Help the rust is we're going to put a bit of rust treatment on it, which will hopefully slow down the process of any more rusting Okay, so I've got some 180 sandpaper, and I'm just going to prepare the area for some body filler If your body filler mix properly it should be a even color Okay, so when we sand that with 80 sandpaper. We need to wait about 30 minutes for it to go fully off okay, so the filler is dried now for about 30 minutes and It's good and hard So now we're going to start sanding with 80 sandpaper And then we're going to move on to 180 to take the heavier scratches out If you haven't got a sanding block a bit of 2x1 timber is just as good Okay, so now we have the shape that we need. We're just going to start sanding with the 180 to take all these heavy scratches Okay, so now we've got our 800 sandpaper, and we've got our water, and we're going to sand down the entire fender Okay, so we sanded the wing down with 800 sandpaper. We've blown it down with compressed air Now we don't want to get paint on the rest of the car, so we're going to mask it up as best we can Okay, now it's time for the primer coat. I've shaken the can very well, and also I'm wearing a respirator Okay, so the primer is dry now about 30 minutes So we've got our 800 sandpaper again and our water, and we're going to sand down the primer Okay, so the next step is the color. Before that we just want to clean the whole panel down with some panel wipe With the color there's no need to go higher up on the fender. We just want to concentrate in the area where the rust was It's easier to blend the color that way Okay, so now we'll leave that color coat go hard for about maybe five minutes before we put the clear coat on top Okay, this is the final step, the clear coat You want to be careful with this not to get runs Take it slow to start, very very light coat, and then build up to your heavier coat Okay, so that's the clear coat on. We'll leave that to dry for about maybe 40 minutes, and then we'll remove the masking Okay now, so it's dried for about 40 minutes, so let's remove the masking and see what it looks like Okay, so the lacquer is fully dry And these are the finished results Looks pretty good compared to what was there before It didn't cost a lot of money to do it either, and you can do it all at home Thanks for watching guys
