This work is a continuation of this one: Brico: Repair of rust on body
The area covered fiber has been very uneven, so I used cement bodies. (Putty polyurethane) It has two components, filler and catalyst. the mix and is highly recommended to have a good set of spatulas body apply the cement lijaremos and, for that use these machines and tacos And once sanded and the surface more or less fine, starts the turn of the compressor and the gun my compressor 50 liters and my pistol with it the piece, in this case rigged two component high solids now we can give the final touch of sandpaper, a hand, cue, and passing his hand to notice irregularities. May be necessary to prepare again, and re-sanded to remove imperfections or "water." and then paint the piece, I used a pinturita "bad" which was home (metallic monolayer is that I have to paint the tires), because the idea is making him go plate, and once done, paint it over. I do so because the car can not stand. Anyway, the result is very good, right? 9 In fact, I'm thinking the whole painting in that tone. Already tried in the day with the r5, but I gave as expected, because of the needle gun, now I use a finer, and the result is, in my opinion, professional.

Not much, you dig out this post: CORROSION TREATMENTS FOR VEHICLES

For a weekend I got to work, because it gave up shame to see how this fin was my patrolillo.
As you observe is a rust perforation so prepare safety equipment and tools for rough sanding (cut and grinder with wire brush) and sandpaper and a mop for the finest. While the rust sanded and logically becomes larger. clean well all fin then protect the area, this time I've done with galvanized cold to see that result gives, although I use a rust converter. prepare the fiberglass with resin and catalyst Here the fiber itself cut pieces of fiber, to cover the holes in this case, I used some leftover enough as it was weakening the plate. and prepare the mix of resin and catalyst smeared plates and cloth, covering the holes, and be something once dry print. I do it with primer, two component epoxy primer or bicomponent. antigravilla then apply, not to damage the primer, this antigrabilla, also serves as paint, but you can apply paint underneath, and also on top. antigravilla gun and black boat finished piece and would be ready! we have our piece covered hole and well protected.
Now I just need the painting of the piece, we'll see in this brico:
