Brilliant idea. I have flip cars that usually have these issues. Quick and easy fix for big rust spots. I recommend sanding out the existing rust first, but I'm definitely going to try this out. Thanks.
Yes of course, like i said in the video, depending on how good you want it, requires more work. I just wanted to show the process of doing it, to give everyone an idea of what to do. Glad it helped 👍
Like i said before in the video, this is a demonstration. Depending on the results you want, the amount of work you put in it. This car is 20 plus yrs old. I was using it as an example of what to do.
I think the expanding foam is actually a neat idea and I'll definitely be trying it! But without sanding all the surface rust around the problem area don't you risk the paint bubbling up underneath and spreading?
Yeah its possible, I haven't had that issue come up yet. Also this is just a quick example of showing what to do. Depending on how perfect you want it to be, requires more work. I just wanted to show that for a few bucks and some of your time, you can change the look of the car. instead of paying a lot of money to have it completely redone.
@@gtflips well some metal and welder won't cost u too much... Just weld there a piece or get a friend who can weld if u don't want to use like 60$ for cheap one it doesn't mater what it will look like just sand it and body filler it will still look better than this shit
@@honda_fanb0y889 everyone doesn't have place or money to weld. I have en entire garage of metal fab now. But for 20 years I lived in an apartment with no place to use or store welders and metal tools. Can of bondo and sandpaper is doable by anyone.
If you are able to sand and prime all of the rust off, I would go with the spray foam. Keep in mind that if you don't sand and prime, the rust will get worse especially since spray foam absorbs water. Rust is like cancer; it spreads and inflicts damage.
You Should Spray some Rust Inhibitor in there before using the foam to keep the rust from Spreading, I have a 2008 Silverado with rusted rocker disease and did this but since it is a Work Truck, I Sanded, Primed and sprayed it with Bedliner. @GT Flips
Becuase this was just a video showing the process. Like I said in the video, depending on the results you want, the more work required. This car is 20 yrs plus old, it just a beater car. This was just to give an idea of what to do.
This is why you always take a magnet with you when you’re buying a used car. Never trust anyone. There are better inexpensive methods to do this repair. At a minimum. Wire wheel the rusted areas, blow or vacuum out the debris. Treat the bare metal with rust inhibitor and primer. Use a metal screen and fiberglass body filler. Never use spray foam! The foam will collect water and debris and make the rusted area even worse. If you’re flipping cars, word will spread and you’ll get a bad reputation as a dishonest seller.
Bondo sucks up water, I have seen cars weep moisture from the inside out through the Bondo and paint. (Dealer bodyshop job on a couple year old car.) I bet that repair bubbled within a week.
Have u ever look under a new car it's full of foam every where in bumpers fenders etc. This was a good fix I like it 👌 affordable can't be beat for the price it work for me for sure try it cause a the body shop quote me 980 dollars to fix mine I was like shit this fix thou me all day
@@gerardotorres1210cars are not filled with insulation foam… They use specialty foam to isolate noise and sound. No manufacturer recommends spray foaming to fix rust damage
Do not use the foam. It suck up the water and moisture like crazy. After the autumn and winter it will look even worse. Use aluminum net, and fiberglas instead.
Wow this really work I did just like the video I sanded a little more but all I spent was 23 dollars and the exterior foam is water proof thanks my car looks good again
Thats why you bring it somewhere reputable. This was a demonstration for ppl who aint got the money to fix it or like in this case. Car is 20 plus years old, im just trying to make it look decent, so when im driving down the street my car dont look crazy.
Like i said before in the video, this is a demonstration. Depending on the results you want, the amount of work you put in it. This car is 20 plus yrs old. I was using it as an example of what to do.
I fix holes on doors like this. On a rusty car may be it will work for few months. Then the foam will fall of because all the metal around it has been eaten by the rust ... :)
Depends on the amount of work you put in. This car was just an example of what to do. My son has a jetta we did this too. Its been 2 yrs still going strong.
Lol 😆 hey don't hate I did this in my car and it was 30 bucks the autobidy shop quoted me 750 dollars and my car has a year or so of life left so this is a good fix don't knock to u try it works really good good job guys
@@gerardotorres1210 yes but it's not the right way or good one u still have to make this fix multiple times if your car has more than one year life left in that point it would haw been cheaper to buy a 60$ welder and weld some ugly pach then Bondo over that or get a friend ho has one u can find someone from Facebook ho will do this kinda job almost for pure joy if u just buy like the metal and Bondo etc
I don’t care how cheap it was to do this. Show people how to do it in a way that will actually last! Not removing rust is a critical mistake that will just cause all this time and material to go in the shitter. For Christ sake at 17:48 you can see it already had came off at the end of the panel!
No we cannot beat it for less than 30 dollars , but u did not fix shit . I can fill it up with toilet paper and apply putty and I will have the same result like u
This is not a fix per se, the metal would still continue to rust, If you at least treat the rust with some converter then this fix would be fine, you're gonna spend more with what you've done
Well this car for example, the whole rocker was rusted out. If I'm going to weld metal all the way down, might as well just buy a new rocker. but this was just an example for ppl who dont have money to spend to fix the ugliness on their car. and like I said, depending on the work you put in, the better the results. This is my beater car, not tryna go crazy on a 20 yr old car.
Because Gary not every car is a priceless museum piece and some of us just want walk up to our work beater without feeling like a poverty stricken ass hole. Bottom line problem of pheasants, far beneath royalty like your self Gary.
being a panel beater this is a bodge dont do this cut out all rust and weld in new metal Ive seen side inpacts and the car caves in and the passangers get hurt because no stuctual stiffness this repair can kill you when you are not expecting it filler wont save you this guy is silly and not trained he is a bodger he should stick to repairing broken furniture like a good bodger if you do this you are playing with your life Ive seen many things like this over 40 years
What is structural about a rocket panel? Lol i can bend it with my hands, if this was the frame then i can see your point but with or without the foam, if you get hit, its denting regardless.
@@gtflips you miss the point the scill is part of the frame check it out or even ask a bodyshop about your practice they will laugh its not saving money Bodging takes longer then doing it correctly your practise is dangerous its making a weekness in the body shell when the body shell is to there to protect you.
@@gtflips you miss the point the scill is part of the body structure each metel body part relies on the next panel for strength even a wing is structured to save lives The car body is made to save the occupants the car body has crumple zones the scill supports safety belts expanding foam dose nothing for safety you are covering up the problem cosmetically which is bodging and very dangerous practice go to your local bodyshop repair and brag what you putting on youtube or offer to do your bodge for them you need to grow up and get trained to repair cars properly m8 you are missing the safety point.
@@andywatts4071 bro i understand you loud and clear, everything works together. But you are missing my point. Every single car accident ive ever seen in my life, when i car gets hit from the side. Car crumples. You should tell every car manufacturer to reinforce the side with steel like the frame. I live in the rust belt and my state requires no state inspection. 95 percent of all the cars where i live are rusted out. If it was such a saftey concern i think we would have inspections every 2 yrs like some states. Everyone who watches this video can use common sense and make a decision. Im not forcing anyone to do this.

This is great! A beginner can do this w/o using fiberglass. It’s so smart.
it's not, if he actually treated the rust then this fix would be fine, If you're a beginner, you should always treat rust so it would not spread again

I used the foam a couple times but it seems to hold moisture and caused it to rust even faster
PUT THE FOAM IN YOUR EAR M8 COS ITS AN EMPTY SPACE LOL ALWAYS REPLACE RUST FOR GOOD 18 GAUGE STEEL WELD IN MIG OR GAS FOR A SOUND REPAIR AND STRENGTH.

It is what it is, liked it, good job 👍
Worked for me long enough to get my state inspection. I'll deal with it permanently come spring. Lol
Why didn't you sand down the rust to raw metal and treat it to prevent the rust from spreading?
Becuase this was just a video showing the process. Like I said in the video, depending on the results you want, the more work required. This car is 20 yrs plus old, it just a beater car. This was just to give an idea of what to do.
Nice sharing my friend.. watching from Malaysia
On top of the foam I will add fiberglass then the Bondo, 👍 thank you brother
Yup theirs got to be a better way!
Gary can you recommend any more foam and filler videos? You’ve trolled all the ones I’ve seen, and I just know there’s more!
Hey, how long hold it?

Nah man still looks brand new for 30 bucks, idk what you talking about. I even did it to one of my jettas, its been a 1 yr and it still good.

You really should remove as much rust as possible!! Wire brush…sandblast tin snips ect…would last allot longer!

And this is the video of how not to do it.

I did say in the beginning of the video its ghetto lol but its been a yr still rock solid and i passed my state inspection 😂
