so what did you do? pull it out, bondo it up, paint it?

lil_red_rex · 06-17-2006, 09:19 PM

well not just pull and bondo...the framing did ripp so i needed to weld that back together...and as for the wheel well rust...i cut it out with a cut off wheel and welded patches...the grinded all the surrounding paint.....then bondoed......its only spraypaint so the metal spots dont rust....ill be puttin the bitch in primer next weekend....gunna knock down the clear and smooth out the base...then use a dupont primer sealer...then wetsand it and put it thru some base then the clear.....i might use the color red from the new honda fits....that red is pretty awesome....what do u guys think? i know ittl be expensive but hay....its a crx...it needs the best!!!
