small rust spot that just started forming. after i grind it down and rid of all the rust, do i have to use body filler or could i just spray it down with the primer?

This is, without any doubt, the NESR post of the year for 2005. Nikon had a few contenders last winter, but this is just short, sweet, brilliant, and *correct*

and the award goes to Mark...

"junk car"? isn't that what Kawi renamed the 2006 ZX-10?

BTW, primer should do it after rust is grind off.

Where is the rust spot? Also, if you're concerned with the surface being true, you might want to do a bondo majobby, wet sand with maybe a 400 grit paper, prime, paint, clear coat.. IF you don;t care about the car and just want to stop the area from rusting, just seal it with some kind of corrosion resistent sheeeitt before priming it i guess.

yep i just wanna stop rus before i have a hole in the roof. i don't care about painting it. corrosion resistant sheeit?

here's what i have in mind.

1. grind the rust surface with electric drill using 80 grit?
2. wet sand with 400 grit?
3. spray primer on?

123 woud this stop the rust for awhile? i don't know how to play with bondo.

Primer is not a sealant, so don't expect it to stop corrosion.

LIke 5 to 7 coats of primer should give you the depth
to reach surounding surface paint depth.

Wet sand with block to feather the spot

Try a duplicolor but I have been cosmetically successful
in spraying areas (like the whole roof) so its not
too noticable. Use cans with the blue pin operated spray nozzel


Make sure when you buy a car it has a solid paint color

If you think you suck borrow a refrigerator door from the local
dump and practice

You look for a wet grainny snow appearence when spraying then the paint will level and shine over the next 1/2 hour.

What else do you have to do

[Kham]

thanks Rich. no need to borrow refrigerator door. i can practice on the junk car itself.

what else i gotta do? radiator and leakky exhaust pipe.

once sanded or ground down to bare metal, I would apply a rust inhibitor, then prime
