I have a 2" cancer spot (rust) on my quarter panel I need to take care of before it gets out of hand, does anyone REALLY know what the fuck they are doing and can help me out? I don’t need the ‘oh my friend…’ crap, just, if you know someone who will help me out for little or no money, considering I buy all supplies, to remedy my situation simply with sanding/priming the right way, let me know. Also I need some help re-aligning body panels, just the front end. ---

You can sand and paint over por-15. Just make sure you use the por-15 self etching primer. LACVILLE can fill you in on any details. ---

so what are the steps? i’d be going through clear/paint as the rust hasnt come through the paint YET. Hand sane it? block it? or one of those blue/green sanding heads on a drill? ---

Depending on how bad the rust is and where it is, you probably should cut it out and have a patch panel welded in. ---

noooo it’s not that bad, it’s surface rust for sure, no rot at all. MIGHT need a little filler, MAYBE. I wasn’t planning on doing it ghetto, I’ll be doing it the right way, I just can’t afford to have a shop do it, and am not 100% sure what the RIGHT WAY is :confused ---

take it down to metal, metal ready to neutralize the rust, por-15 to seal it, then either sand the por smooth or shoot it with self etching por primer then glaze over it with a skim coat of body putty. sand, prime, bc/cc fade with air brush or spray can touchup paint…i dont think i left any steps out :🙂 ---

I was planning on holding off on painting until I can afford a full re-spray, so probably just as far as priming it, but I’d like for the primer to be white at least so I don’t have some nasty gray spot, at least if it’s white it’s hard to see from a distance. Do they make white primer, or would you reccomend just spraying a bit of white paint/clear on that spot. Reason why I say this is I have custom paint that several body shops have said would be incredibly difficult to get to match even remotely, almost impossible, and would cost and arm and a leg…so when the time comes that I can afford it I’d be doign a full OEM Alpine III 300 re-spray pic of the paint: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/bennyfizzle/pearl.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/bennyfizzle/pearl.jpg) ---
