Lots of people saying I should have used some rust converter, which makes sense. But in previous videos people have told me painting over rust converter should be avoided. Thoughts?
Painting over surface rust just isn't gonna work. Sand it down to bare metal, or use rust converter. Rust converter works, just let it dry enough. Then primer it and spray paint over it, it worked for me. Enjoy the great, best sounding V6 diesel! Good luck with your channel.
I sanded it down to bare metal, just didn’t do the rust converter part. It’s gonna come back no matter what - it’s a 00’s Audi after all lol. Cheers mate
@@NotEconomicallyViable When painting on rust, you should at least use a rust primer. When sanding down to bare betal, you really want to have the surface as dry as possible with some heat source on the metal. (Or paint in a dry environment.)
For surface attack with wire wheel and/or flap disc on grinder, apply bilt hamber deox gel cover with cling film and leave for 12 - 24 hours, clean off the residue thoroughly and ensure surface is clean, then apply bilt hamber hydrate 80, allow to dry and apply second coat, once dry sand very lightly to remove brush strokes, apply several coats of 2k primer, wet sand, apply tack coat of base coat, then apply several more coats of base coat, wet sand lightly, apply several coats of quality clear, wet sand lightly, attack with cutting compound and finally finishing compound. A lot of work but you will end up with a very nice finish. Please find somewhere to do this work indoors you'll fight a losing battle trying to do it outdoors. Also forgot to say if rust has left heavy pitting you will need to use some fine filler before applying the primer or else it will look crap no matter what you do. The bilt hamber products are pricey but excellent. Never use POR15 anywhere on your car. It's crap as numerous people have discovered.
Just a small token of appreciation. My 2002 Audi A6 3.0l petrol avant quattro 1 of only 19 still on the road in the uk has been in my ownership for 12 years is still a constant expense. But I wouldn’t sell it because it is isn’t ECONOMICALLY VIABLE. Have a drink on me 👍.
Well done, massive improvement. Just a comment regarding technique - putting dots of product onto the panel and running your machine over it creates a lot of slinging, which requires lots of unnecessary cleanup (e.g. windows, trim, nice classic cars next to you). It's cleaner and less wasteful of product to put 4-5 medium coin-sized dots onto the pad itself, smear that over the panel with the machine off, then with the pad making full contact with the panel, turning the machine on at low then gradually working your way up to your desired speed. Also a good idea to blow out the pads with compressed air 1-2 times per panel (if possible) and to never place pads/cloths on the ground as they pick up dirt and grime in an instant and will act as sandpaper if used on your paint afterwards.
+1 to all you said. You know much more than I do. One other thing to add, if you use soft cloths as final polishing off, for goodness sake, keep them in their own “good rag bag”. They otherwise pick up every bit of grit and muck from a workshop and then abrade your lovely finishes! I’m an old bike guy, so please don’t ask me how I know 😮
Amazing results. I saw a video of how to blend rattle can paint by folding a piece of paper in a big teardrop shape, so the wide bit becomes the edge you want to blend. It works. I have watched most of your videos and admire what you have done. I work on the same estate. Thanks for posting.
when you polish read the meguairs ultimate compund label. use on small areas , clean and move on. never put polish products on an entire door/hood like that and work for 20min and let the polish product to just sit and wait for you. put on the disc, work clean and repet. take your time on smal areas you will get better results. red the products label specs. but congrats on the work. and after ultimate compund you need to start over with ultimate polish and after use a wax to protect the polish
I'm doing some very similar fettling to my 2004 Audi A4 convertible. Picked it up cheap last year as someone else's unstarted project. "Less offensive" is a great description of the achievable finish without spending big money and it's all good. Keep up with your honest approach and expectations. You have another subscriber 👍

Nice detailing / repair video on a budget, after watching the expensive process on an 80s Rover 827i being prepared for sale on a classic car site. Subbies have tripled in a matter of weeks which is great. More people watching your entertaining projects which means the content is appealing. Keep it up and bring back the Merc as soon as you can 😏😁
Bloody hell! The difference between the polished side of the bonnet and the non polished is incredible! Congratulations on getting the engine sorted! 🎉
Great video Nino! Paint came out amazing considering 😁 Those waterfall blemishes formed after rain ran down rust that has formed under the chrome trim, and they will come back unless the rust is repaired.
Hey I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS on the job , hope it goes well . Nice one on the bumper, I had faith in you , to get that done . Keep the good content going bud .
In real terms it's worth more than £500. Audis become interesting once they're older and the masses have lost interest and are busy with the recent models. Even looking at the prices of old Skoda Octavias, now this has been serviced, it's probably as good or better. It might not fetch a lot but being an estate and fairly economical it could easily be somebody's workhorse (or yours) for years to come.
Grate job! Looks, as you said, quite repectable. I have one the same colour, just different interior. I really enjoy driving a 20 year old car in good condition. Actually its a way better feeling than driving something expensive. I did get compliments about the car too. Love it
Well in bud, we all gotta learn somewhere cars looking brilliant... You should refurbish the wheels next can even do the old card trick and stick them between the wheel rim and tyre 👍
I was waiting for your video impatiently .l binge watched all your videos from the very first one . Paint in audi it's perfect 👌 for a novice . Anyway it will be covered in mud and dirt and no-one will tell the difference... Try T-Cut in that window . Any news on the merc ? 5 stars ⭐ for you. Well done .
That is a massive improvement. It just goes to show that this stuff is DIY-able. There has been some helpful advice elsewhere in the comments but you can tackle those things at your leisure. My own bodywork skills are at the same level so you're not the only one who is challenged in these areas.
@@NotEconomicallyViable that blemish is a hole behind the trim you see one on each side I would pull that bit of trim sort it out before it gets bigger.
I no u dumb it down but what u do takes a lot of intelligence, l love ur can do attitude & enjoyment at making more work for yourself. U really r a gifted jack of all trades. An ease & pleasure to watch, l binged whole audi. Love totally finished pic
Nice job mate. I would say those blemish runs on the rear quarters are definitely rust residue coming from under the silver trim so have a look under there for corrosion before its too late. There’s always something about breathing life back to old cars even if they are not considered worth it by most people. I like Audis especially around the 90s, 00s era. I have a 2007 RS4 convertible which has cost me a fortune in replacement parts but as it’s the last manual V8 Audi produced I’m somewhat inclined to keep Hold of it as it’s a great well built car.
Amazing work Nico. Have been waiting to see the Audi spring back to life and glad the bushings cause any issues on the suspension. I've painted a few bits before but always make a mess. I've learned a few things today thanks to you.
Looking at this video I'm going to treat myself to a machine polisher for a Christmas present to myself to then machine polish my 20 year old car as you have some good results 😉
Really should be proud of that great job nothing better than driving something that's not economically viable I drive a w reg vauxhall astra mk4 estate 1.6 8v hydrolic lifters tick more than a clock but there getting done after Xmas the last owner didn't clean it for 7 years roof has black dots inground in the paint work the bonnet has deep scratches going through to bare metal front bumper is broken just replaced both headlights I'm going to get her looking great again because I love that ol' girl 👊

Oxidation is a chemical process that causes vehicle paint to break down over time from exposure to heat and oxygen. It is essentially a form of corrosion in which paint loses its oil content, and as a result, dries out. This process is gradual, but the effects can be severe. As paint oxidizes, it becomes duller.5 Nov 2020
Harry, so sorry, I didn't get the notification and I've only just seen your message. The paint kit was from eBay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175212389115?var=474415432886 Can't find the links for the other items, I'm afraid
I have a MK4 Golf GTI and its also a 52 plate, and its a suffering from all the same exterior issues, waterfall corrosion and rotting wheel arches.....VAG cars for you i guess...i also HATE body work stuff so i am going to be doing that last
I've done this like 8 times. The problem will be clear coating/lacquer. It looks like shop painted, then if clear is enough it will end up shiny, then after ~2-3 years clear will crack and at the end it will look like shit. I promise you that. Tried different clears, on my audi A4, on my VW Vento, on my Corolla, every time same shit. Clear coating in cans is rubbish, they all end up cracking in 3 years. Tried polishing, tried thinning with acetone, tried many different brands. It never works, not a single time. Initial result is excellent, give it 2-3 years and it shittens up. I am not sure if I ever do this again, I'd apply clear coat at all.
In a while, if the company has any sense, they’ll invite you to do non critical work around the workshop and eventually on lower skilled basic prep work, which you’d learn from & I have a hunch, you’d enjoy hugely. I think you’ve got decent basic technique for a recent starter who’s pretty much self taught. Most of us have been mucking around with various vehicles for decades. I’m coming up on fifty years. I’m still not brilliant at anything except machine & hand polishing metals and I’m a devil for detail. So I fix old lock sets and bike instruments. I can’t paint & I can just about rebuild motors, but none of the engineering. Fettle carburettors & old ignition systems, respoke wheels and replace bearings. Engineering, welding, pro painting, seats, there are so many brilliant pro/am fellas especially in the Midlands, they are so much better than I’ll ever be. Owning & fettling old motorcycles and cars is a joy (& a pain, wouldn’t be without the bikes, tools and basic workshop). Good luck to you, sir!
I was starting to get a bit worried about you...no video for a while. What's the story with the Merc? How about making your own wiring harness? By the way, I used to work in the paint shop at Lotus 30 years ago and what I saw you doing with paint made me squirm...too cold, too windy but it turned out OK. Pure luck I guess.
