I've got a bit of rear wheel well rust....It's all kinda caked on the back passenger side wheel well should I just sand it all down and ty to use fiber glass and lip it over so it looks as if nothing happened but could prolly tell up close.....or should I have a auto place do it and spend a couple of dollars to have them do it.....In the future maybe this year or next I plan on getting rid of a few rust spots and painting the whole car... Not myself though how much have you guys paid on paint jobs....I would be getting the original color it came with......

for a color change I paid $3300, you could take that down about $1000-1500 if you prep it yourself (also since you're stickin with the stock color, jambs are a P.I.T.A.)

 

Cloud, sounds like my rear quarter panel... rusting away... (sigh)

Check out http://www.por15.com for their POR-15 paint. I should've used that when I did my body work "way back when" to fix a previous owner's bad job. The rust I thought I killed came back with a vengence- and ate my quarter panel from underneath the paint. Soon I'll be welding a new one in.. (sigh)

Oh and when you prep- REGULAR PRIMER ISN'T WATERPROOF! It absorbs water, which causes the metal underneath to rust... (big sigh) I sanded that "new" rust away when I found out, but I guess it returned.

I did both of mine. The panels cost me $64 for both, than I welded them in myself.

 

does anybody know any good sites for quarter panels and fenders, I'm gonna redo mine and was wondering if anybody knew any good sites. I've checked out www.goodmarkindustries.com - but i wanna compare prices of different sites.
