I like mixing filler on sheet metal, when I’m done I clean it off with acetone or thinner and reuse the sheet metal for a long time.
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!
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!
Thanks for the info, really helped as I have a 1979 t2 bay vw that needs work and I can't afford it to be welded.
We just got a Corolla for our daughter that has a rust hole because the previous owner decided not to fix paint damage after a collision… I used for video using rattle cans in the past (2k clear) and it turned out amazing. I love you videos and I can’t wait to tackle this new project car.
I've had excellent results w/ similar rust. Pound the rust hole in, use por 15 & apply in hole w a acid brush & finish w duraglas. Worked very well
You are the Best teacher. Regards from Poland
This is really helpful thank you. I have done this a few times but your tips will make it much better next time.
Brilliant. Very helpful. I guess Waxoil would be a good thing to spray onto the back. I used some on an MG Midget in the 80’s and it is still going strong in UK weather.
perfect timing I'm starting small repairs at home on a '96 Silverado Light Stellar Blue Metallic

Awesome. Gonna try that this weekend on my rear panel! Looked easy enough.
Thank you for this having a hard time applying body filler to holes and scratches. Glazing putty is what I need. Love paint society! Keep up great work
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.
Great tutorial. Always been thinking of trying some minor body repair. Thanks.
Thank you so much Brian! I'm learning alot from your videos!!
Great video showing how to DIY that rust away!! Thats the way I learned when working with my dad flipping cars.
This video brought me back to my roots. Loved the video just subscribed 👍
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
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.
