Everyone says rust repair is expensive and complicated, right? Well, prepare to have your mind blown. Today, I'm proving that 'cheap' and 'effective' can absolutely go hand-in-hand when it comes to tackling rust. You won't believe how simple and affordable it can be to restore your car's appearance and save a fortune. In this video, I demonstrate 3 methods of preparing different rust areas for paint applications. No special tools, no welding, no spraying equipment. The challenge was to keep this video DIY based, on budget, and within the limited time frame I allowed myself, before my buyer came to view the vehicle. Here are some useful links for the products shown: www.paintgear.co.uk for the Colour matched Basecoat and the 2k Clearcoat.

If you give it a go, you’re responsible for your own safety and your own car. I can’t be held responsible for any damage, injuries, or unexpected “oops” moments that happen if you try it yourself.
