This is a tutorial on how to get rid of rust that lies on the car frame. Getting the rust off the car will prevent it from further damage and rusting.

Strumenti necessari

  • 80 Grit Sandpaper
  • Isopropyl Alcohol (90% or Greater)
  • Dupli-Color Perfect Match Automotive Paint
  • Rust-oleum Automotive Primer
  • Dish Soap
  • Spray Bottle
  • 220 Grit Sandpaper

Procedura

Passo 1

  • Spray down the rust with a spray bottle mixed with water and dish soap.
  • Wipe the mixture with a microfiber cloth.

Passo 2

  • Pour a small amount of rubbing alcohol onto a microfiber cloth.
  • Clean the rusted area with the cloth to remove any contaminants.

Passo 3

  • Rub the rusted area with 80-grit sandpaper until you start seeing the bare metal.

Passo 4

  • Rub the rusted area with 220-grit sandpaper until all of the rust is removed.
  • Dampen a cloth with soapy water and wipe down the sanded area.

Passo 5

  • This step is to prepare your spot for spray painting.
  • Add some paper around the areas you do not want paint on. Make sure you go a little past where you are going to spray paint to blend the paint into the surrounding area.

Passo 6

  • Spray three even coats of primer, waiting at least five minutes between each coat.
  • Let the third coat sit for 15 minutes.

Passo 7

  • Spray three even coats of paint on top of the primer, waiting five minutes between each coat.
  • You can either use a color similar to your car or you can get the actual color of you car by looking for the car’s color code.
  • After the final coat, wait 24 hours before removing the surrounding paper.
