How to repair a rust hole in the bodywork

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

When we discover a rust hole in the bottom of our old car, it is always a serious moment. We do not know how to repair it, but we cannot leave it as it is or the rust will continue to advance, causing even worse damage. Let's see how to remedy this through this video, with the help of an expert body shop: the first thing to do is to remove the larger pieces of rust, and fill the holes we have created with polyurethane foam, which we can find on the website tecnomat. It at code 25009283 at a price of 14.90 euros for the 0.750 ml can. Once the foam has solidified, we remove the excess, and in this way we will have structural integrity to build on, spread the putty and apply a plastic bag on top in order to give the perfect shape to the part; in fact, when it has solidified we will remove it and it will have the right shape. We just have to finish it. Put some masking tape along the edge, and since rust usually forms on the bottom of the car, quickly paint it with black paint. Remove the tape and the job is done.
