Plastic impreginated fabric is ideal for repairing rusted out automobile bodies. Dipped into a solvent the fabric bonds itself to the metal. A paste applied over the fabric sets it metal like hardening.
To do the job itself you can buy a kit at an store with an autobody department such as Canadian Tire. Usually the kits include fabric , solvent , metallic putty a small brush and instructions.
Sand down to bare metal for an an inch or so around the rusted out body spot. You can do the sanding by hand but a power disk is quicker.
Cut fabric patch to shape, dip into solvent and apply to the metal. The wet patch can be molded to any contour. After it is dry featheredge the patch with fine sandpaper.
Apply metallic putty to patch using putty knife or brushing it on after thinning with solvent. Sand or file the putty smooth, and it will look like a piece of metal.
Spray the patch. first a base coat and then several of finish color. Rather than try to match a sport , it is best to spray the entire panel
