Repairing Corroded Bodywork with Fibreglass

Model: Renault 19 MK 1 - Years 1988-1997
Part: Body

The use of fibreglass to repair bodywork should be reserved for those parts of the body that are made from this material; when the bodywork has areas corroded by rust, a panel beating job should be carried out by removing the corroded section and shaping new metal to weld and finish with filler before painting. However, if aesthetic quality is not a major concern, you can brush the area and apply fibreglass pieces fixed with the appropriate catalysed gel; once dry, you can sand and paint.
