How to do repair auto body rust with bondo

[@mportklr]

WOW! this tutorial was really good because I sat here for 10:40 without noticing the time.

[@MattLeitholt]

You should also cover the surrounding areas in plastic so you don't get over spray and back mask as well

[@testvideo6614]

Well its up to you..masking is good but time consuming

[@JLaw1]

I just wanted to let you know that this is a great HELPFUL video!

[@testvideo6614]

Bohemian You dont need to weld if you put a wire mesh for spaces more than couple of inches. Thanks

[@Hugh_Hunt]

7:40 That is a pretty heavy thin coat. Great video though.

[@gurowar]

nice video this showed me what I was missing, very helpful thank you for this video!!

[@danielcastelo]

Holy cow... great video. Thanx

[@Farmer2492]

great video i filled the holes of mine with solder done it 7 years ago and the rust has never come back

[@testvideo6614]

Great idea

[@luciusirving5926]

Man! You Americans are so lucky to have better body filler found in your automotive stores. Here in Mexico, all the good stuff is expensive, where as all the cheap crap is inexpensive. This cheap filler I have, gets so many pinholes and mixed spots. Damn this shit is annoying, doesn't even touch 3M quality.

[@claudiaoctavia6340]

rust in that area often from rock chips so originating on the outside, not on the inside like a fender or rocker panel.

[@testvideo6614]

Believe me, rust is more on the back or underside, that is my experience while rock chip is different which you may cover right away. I am talking about weather and moisture, rain and snow is the main thing here in north america. thanks and sorry for being so late.

[@MegaArmien]

Worked well for my Opel 1998

[@asensniper]

Super helpful video, thanks!

[@JLaw1]

Awesome video! Very helpful. Thanks!

[@testvideo6614]

Derdian. Well we should not foreget that its a temporary solution for the problem and rust is like a cancer. Even if it last for couple of years to cover the holes, it is worth.

[@231flash]

IF you're selling your car right away, that is one way of doing it,

[@xx50Lxx]

Cheaper to bring to a body shop this way your not left your materials you'll likely never use again. Quality products and quality workmanship equals quality repair.

[@testvideo6614]

Not agreed, body work in north america is 10 times expensive that doing your self.

[@s0nnyburnett]

You didn't get all that rust, it will be seeing you again soon.

[@testvideo6614]

Right, You must clear all the rust and go to the shining metal before you paste anything on. Otherwise it willnot lost for long.

[@864doorcutty]

Best bondo vid on youtube thks

[@OsloPainting]

I like it. Thank you

[@DoTheFamine95]

what kind of rubbing compound is he talking about at the end?

[@testvideo6614]

Sorry for being late, can be found in any auto shop in north america. Thanks

[@2superuser]

mmm norm... but need destroy rust before bondo.. and can use epoxy primer before bondo..

[@testvideo6614]

very late reply so i am sorry, Yes there are lots of rust destroyer available in shape of paints and primers

[@derdian3]

When you lift the hood ,you will see that the rust eats it's way around to the inside , on my tailgate it was much worse...

[@testvideo6614]

Patch the rusty area

[@bowira]

Even then masking - safety goggles are worn :-)

[@simonfarnaby2050]

cheers graet vid

[@colbywadedirks]

I have a 2007 chevy avalanche and would like to have the cladding painted. A friend told me that i could use a light weight bondo to rub over the textured plastic then sand it smooth. Do you have any recomendations on how to do this? do you sell the products to do something like this? Thank you

[@testvideo6614]

Sorry for being so so late, If you still need to do this, try bondo fiber glass

[@CyborgbobaFett]

Sooo basically all of this was for nothing cause those pits are gonna bubble the bondo and crack it. Good Job 3M..

[@testvideo6614]

It willnot bubble if you use any rust protection which kills the moisture inside or use bondo glass

[@testvideo6614]

You never try it, you never know. Try and then you will know

[@PayNoTax-GetNoVote]

Fixing that kind of rust, stuff that comes from behind and has penetrated the exterior sheet metal, will not last ...AT ALL using this method. The rust will come from the back side again within months.... TOPS and start to blister under the putty and paint. Just FYI..

[@testvideo6614]

So put more effort and patch it if the rust is too deep

[@testvideo6614]

Shakell. work under shadow on a warm day. Room temperature is good for work.

[@testvideo6614]

Thank you all for liking this ...

[@testvideo6614]

Thanks

[@kevinrichter8678]

In the video you said to polish the metal, remove all sanding scratches, does the metal need to be smooth in order to use bondo, I recently repaired some rust above my rear wheel well, after sanding, priming and painting, bubbles started to form on the bondo, most were small with one larger bubble, this happened to me twice now, any ideas what I did wrong ?

[@testvideo6614]

Did i said polish the metal then i am wrong. I remember i said we should go to shining metal and the reason is that if there is any rust leftover then it will expand underneath and will push bondo or any other material. Now about the bubbles expert says that there is no single reason we can conclude but my opinion is that it depends on the temperature you worked on your car and degree of moisture left in the bondo. It may depend on the quality of body filler as well. Good luck

[@kevinrichter8678]

Ehsan Uploads Thanks

[@herdpm1]

How much does it cost. I used this video to repair a rust spot on my car and I'm well over a hundred in, and it looks like caca. Should've just taken it to the shop. Anytime you do something for the first time you'll make mistakes. My bondo looked smooth as hell until I applied the paint, then I saw how crappy it actually was. Never again.

[@Jarrodknesal]

About how much would someone spend on materials and eq. if one doesn't have any?

[@testvideo6614]

Depends on type of job and material used plus that tools. Thanks

[@willohteltv]

Better compound your bumper, hood and windshield. Next time cover them up bud.

[@testvideo6614]

Right

[@TechnoAlliance1]

Where can I get thesoundtrack?

[@testvideo6614]

Download and convert

[@testvideo6614]

Thanks Cruz

[@joshuabartlett3589]

do I need an angle grinder to grind or will a normal grinder be ok?

[@testvideo6614]

Sure why not thats even better

[@iTankuQQCA]

That rust is surface rust due at a non-painted area..

[@GeraltOfRivia99]

those 2 pieces of tape on the grill arnt doing anything?

[@nfsmw0]

it is a honda.

[@tattoocozzi420]

and now your HONDA has no rust spot hahahahahaha

[@testvideo6614]

Thanks Mix

[@testvideo6614]

Thanks guys. Its a video from bondo body filler but i upload it on test basis because its enough information to start a job. Hello Cody. Its up to you that what you want to put on your car. Can cost from $ 20 to 60 or more for a job like this. Good luck

[@OfficialxM1nD]

What should I do if I have a gray paint and you see a difference? How can I make it equal?

[@testvideo6614]

Sorry all for very late reply. You may find the paint code of your vehicle either on door, trunk or under hood.

[@sunbugs]

Are you going to weld up holes? Does it matter?

[@testvideo6614]

No need, Thanks and sorry for being so late in reply

[@yuventiqballa4698]

Why you don't put epoxy primer before epoxy filler...?

[@testvideo6614]

Well, i guess the paint job is already too complicated and more you put on more you need to work on so better keep it smooth.

[@yuventiqballa4698]

Ehsan Uploads From my experience it will not last long.

[@testvideo6614]

You see lots of people use bondo light which is cheaper and in that case yes it may bubble or show again but doing a proper job and putting quality of material which is expensive, you can get professional results. Again its up to you that how much effort and money you want to put on.

[@testvideo6614]

There are Body filler which will stick to even any surface and strong enough, depending on what you choose. I used them and i know that it stick really well. It is like a strong glue.

[@testvideo6614]

Thanks Crosales. A little late..

[@arthur1920]

You didn't do anything about the pits? Was the clear coat you used one of those two part "clearcoats in a can"? Don't you need some kind of a clear coat blending agent to get the new coat to stick to the old?

[@testvideo6614]

No need For colors like black and white with no glitter in it while for metallic colors yes its a good idea

[@reints74]

The ONLY way paint will adhere to that hood, or any painted surface, is through mechanical adhesion. To do a job like this correctly, you'ld scuff the area around the repair with an equivalent to 600 - 800 grit sandpaper. Watch some other videos on here & you'll see what I mean. Don't do any of the stuff in this video!

[@testvideo6614]

Good idea

[@testvideo6614]

May try it on a bigger area

[@testvideo6614]

Well the rust in the video is not that deep and after all they have to sell their product.

[@eewwq14]

lol we all know its a honda

[@testvideo6614]

hmm

[@wildeyednorthernboy]

READ THE BONDO BRAND CAN..NOT MADE 2 GO OVER PAINTED PANELS..BONDO BRAND GLAZE DOES NOT HAVE A HARDERN IN IT Y USE REALLY

[@honnabonna1224]

arm and a leg and only last about a year

[@testvideo6614]

You may have missed any step, bodywork is not easy

[@theoriginalmungaman]

Complete waste of time. You never use polyester body filler (Bondo) to repair rust! This section should be cut out and a patch welded in. Then after grinding the welds flush you would coat with fiberglass filler then Bondo to smooth the surface. Bondo is like a sponge and never used like this video shows. If you treated the bare steel with phosphoric acid conversion coating then used WATERPROOF fiberglass filler it would last a while.

[@testvideo6614]

Bondo had few different types of filler so you choose the one which suits your area of work. yes fiberglass is better.

[@testvideo6614]

Hello Origional Munga... Do you know this video is from manufacturer I mean Bondo company and if think they don't know what they produce then you better talk to them. Lots of people like this video and is very helpful for a small job.

[@theoriginalmungaman]

Ehsan Uploads I restore and build very expensive classic cars and motorcycles. I am an A.S.E. master auto body tech. I have been fixing rust for over 30 years. My comment stands true.

[@testvideo6614]

It doesn't matter who you are....you didnot produce bondo filler.. read what i told you before..

[@testvideo6614]

I read your full message now....may be you are right but i am not the producer of bondo or this video..

[@testvideo6614]
