The rear arches on my 92 nova, although structurally sound, have minor rust patches along the underside of the arch, but slowly one of the patches is creeping up onto the actual side of the rear wing so u can see it when looking at the side of the car. Now this is pissing me off so im thinking of doing something about it!
Now i know i can probably get a good finish on the newly sprayed area, but what about overspray onto the actual side of the car. I could do with any good tips on how to blend the new paint into the old.
Also has anybody attempted this at home ie: removal of rust, rust preventative treatment, filling, priming and spraying, done a good job and actually managed to keep the rust away?? Or does the rust just come back and u have to do it all over again.
Anybody with any experience of this, what do u think, and have u any good advice or handy tips.
OR do u basically think i am wasting my time in doing this and just basically delaying the inevitable serios rusting of the arches please say so. Also how much would it cost to get it professionally, and is it worth it, and does the rust stay away if done professionally.
