At last

Well looks like I'm gonna get some work done today :) hope sun stays out , back in a bit

Well I manage it , i manage a bit of work on the car :)

I decided to star on this patch, nasty nasty this was, but still had to crack on and try and do something because serious it was rotten underneath.

After pulling the window rubber out i discovered it was worse than i thought it was, it was starting to rot through. i cleaned as much out as i could to try and stop any chance of the filler falling out with loose rust. sounds like my teeth at the mo LOL hahaha

Using U-POL P38 I started to try and level the area, the only pig really is doing a second layer, and hope that's enough .



this was the first coat the coat you just slap loads on..lol i filled behind the rubber as well to hopefully stop any spread of rust, even though it has been treated it can still return without a doubt, so do your best to avoid this.

After a good sanding down it starts to look more the part, after the second coat you should have no defaults in the filler after a second sanding. Don't forget before each new layer or before priming, was down the area with clean water and dry :).

As you can see, its been sanded down and washed as it should be , and filler on the glass or rubber can easily be removed after, and not its ready to have that area primed .
BINGO!!!


As you can see, its now been primed any excess will be removed tomorrow and will look a lot cleaner than it does in this picture.

Think its all I'm gonna manage to do today, because its late in the day .
So hopefully the weather will stay up tomorrow. Last to before and after pics below, see you tomorrow :)
