Any holes? Use Bondo type material that contains the heavy fiberglass strands, I use 3M Long Strand Fiberglass Reinforced Filler, Part 05813. An acid brush (cheap, little metal brush used with soldering, Hardware or auto body shop) with a little alcohol (like from the drug store) helps smooth out your work. Next: paint on Rust Oleum rusty metal primer (redish brown) A spray can helps get to all the hard to reach nooks and crannies. Let dry a couple of days. Finally: here's the good part. Lowes Hardware, buy a can of Swamp Cooler coating (it's flat black) and brush it on. Looks great, lasts a long time. Good luck with with your little car and I hope this helps keep it running a long time.
