Hi, im new to the forums and this looks like a pretty good place.. So im gonna start with asking a few questions about body work.. I am in the process of painting my car. Im gonna go with a Dupont 41307 Orange color. Right now I have the car taken apart. Hood, front fenders, front bumper cover, both doors, hatch, and the rear bumper are all taken off. Every part had to be replaced because something was wrong with it. So now that I have everything off there is a few dents that i need help on. Here is the only pic of my car that I have. This is when i first bought it, I have added pony wheels so imagine this car with ponies.



The circle parts are where im having trouble with dents/rust. On the rear right next to the hatch there is a dent. Its probbly the size of a quarter. The area right in front of the back right tire there is a spot of rust. It isnt a bad eating rust, its more of a surface rust. I sanded it down and the spot is still kinda rough. Its kinda smooth but then it has some spots where it comes up and yada yada. I sanded it down and put some bondo on it but now there is more of a hump where that was. And the circle on the door is a dent probbly the size of the circle.I wasnt for sure if this is a dent i could get out with a plunger or if i could fit something inside the door and try to get it out. Or what. Sooo... my questions are..

1. How can I fix the little small dent on the back? Use some bondo?
2. What should I do about the rust? it isnt all that bad but I want it to look right since the coor is gonna be orange it will show dents and imperfections..
3. What should i do about the door?

I know this probbly isnt all that helpful without pics but I cant get pics right now. I MIGHT be able to get some later. So if someone could help that would be great!

 

1. Dont use bondo. Bondo sucks use better filler if you can. But if you have to I guess just fill in the dent and sand it down. Keep trying until its perfect.
2. When you sanded the rust did it go away or is it still showing. The best way to do it is grind it off and fill it in and sand it smooth.
3. You might be able to take off the interior door panel and punch it out. I'd try that because its a big dent. Good luck.

Find every dent and imperfection. When I painted ky car I missed some and now its all I see when I look at my car it sucks.
