Car has been a bit neglected lately, other than a wash and interior detailing.
Had the day off today and was going to keep going on the rear arches. Stopped out to auto-zone to pick up a roll of masking tape and noticed on the shelf right below it this stuff called Evapo-rust.
Kinda pricey but I got the small bottle and am going to give it a try.
For large areas that cant be soaked in a bath it says to wet paper towels and lay them on the area followed by plastic wrap to prevent drying and let sit for anywhere from 8-24 hours depending on the degree of rust. Since I woke up kinda late and the day is half gone, Im going to get cracking nice and early on my next day off, Monday.
What Ive already done is taken a small paint brush and hit the rusted hole on the passenger's arch with por15, let it dry, then filled it with liquid metal filler. Then sanded down the filler to make everything ready for the final steps
The plan is:
Hit the arch with a wire cup brush to prepare the metal for the Evapo-rust
Apply the evapo-rust, Im hoping it wont take too long since the rust isnt too terrible now that Ive taken an angle grinder to the bad spots.
Hit the arches and bad spot with some 60-grit overlapping about an inch onto the good paint
Then applying probably two thick coats of por-15 with a mini roller
Ill either leave it like that for the winter or hit it with a coat of clear to prevent peeling at the edges
Then work on the body filler to fix the bad spot in the spring when I hopefully start wrapping it
And Ive come down to two choices for color:
Matte black or Matte Grey
