Hi Heather,
Try this for undercoat: Clean area very well and use Rust Mort (any
auto body supply shop) to stop any rust. 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.
Claude, Utah
