Hi all

how do I get rid of rust on my roof? I used 60 and 80 Grit but it doesn’t seem to work

 

I think that's too much to sand down. You may not have a roof left. Try a rust neutralizer or a rust encapsulator, then add the body filler, prime, paint.

 

I hope that fixes the problem. Thank you

 

Sand blasting helps. Using POR15 would be good, BUT, I am not sure how to use POR15 if you want to top coat with a final paint (if you did that, research it first with the manufacturer's recommendations). And you can use POR15 without sand blasting. You just get best results with blasting.

 

Thank you for the info I’ll definitely go with POR 15 as it has so many good reviews online

 

Have you thought about doing a landau top? Encapsulate the rust with your preferred method, then just cover it with fabric. Wouldnt look out of place on a car of that year and would save a good bit of body work to make it flat & straight again.

 

Maybe I will do that. Not a bad idea. Thank you
