#191598 I think you should finish the rust repair job right :thumb:

looks like you grinded the welds down for the most part, primered, and now the car is outside again.

Primer absorbs water which means you or new metal & welds will start to rust. I would finish grinding it smooth, finish smoothing with filler, prime and then paint. Even if the paint is a rattle can and not a perfect match, it will seal the surface.

Don't forget about the backside of the metal as well :thumb:

#191622 i didnt know primer absorbes water
good to know
the inside/backside of the metal is sealed with rubber undercoating
i filled in the body a little bit just with some bondo i will paint it asap now that i know primer absorbes water
thanks teal
after i paint it thats it foe body work iu really dont care how it looks im all for a shitty looking car with nice tires and amazing handeling
