cure for cancer

Post by Capt'n Obvious »

well when my fenders got rolled alot of cheap maco paint got chipped off. thanks to the wonderful city of stl who use way too much salt my cancer spread quick so today i decided enough was enough.

so i got some rustolium primer. then chipped away the paint till i got to good metal. sanded it cleaned it then sprayed. this was just temp so i was just gonna call it good but then decided to touch it up with the maco paint. well that did not match so i tried tibby paint and it matched perfect. so i brushed it on i will sand/ fill/ and paint it correctly when it warms up but just did not want to make the rust worse this was the only bad fender. all others was just the lip so i sprayed those too.

yes the whole area under the tape had rust fuckin maco

Not to shabby man. I bet from a distance you cant even tell. Looking forward to seeing it fixed right though.

Primer looks a hell of a lot better than having a rust hole in your quarter. At least you got to it early. But my question is, was it really necessary to roll the fenders? Doesn't look like you would have too many issues at that height.
