ive been lookin at this site fora while now and finally have my 3.0 Cl so i made an account. My problem is i got some rust ( live in Canada ) on both rear wheel wells n a lil on my hood ontop of the grille area. Wtf should i do ?!?
Maaco paint job of death ? Independent Shop ? HELP!!!!!!!



ima post pics ina couple days of my hurtin cl

 

hood you can touch up with some sand paper and touch up pen. rear fenders will need to be cut and welded or you can sand and fiberglass/bondo but that lasts one season max.

 

 

you're not the only one with a rusted CL my friend.... the solution for you is to get new quarters..., or you could try to get them patched but it would only be a matter of time before the rust gets the best of them (6months to a year max.) as for the hood, i am pretty sure any decent body shop could get rid of that problem... once you get it fixed, you need to start washing your car very frequently during the winter time to get rid of the salt... btw from which part of canada are you from??

 

Depends how bad the rust is. It may not actually be worth fixing because the fenders are prone to rusting on Hondas. I have two small bubbles on my rear fenders, and a shop quoted me $500 I think. Maybe it was $300 now that I think about it...Regardless, it isn't free and it may come back.

Welcome anyways

 

don't let bird shit shit on your car for more than a few days.

 

yo sorry ima get pics up by sat. btw im from Toronto

 

Toronto, nice..

replace both quaters (worth it) and as for the hood, that can be repaired no problem by any reputable shop.

fuck maaco

 

YO SILVER GIMME SOME INFO BRO


u got any names of a nice shop for rust work ? Im in Oakville/Burlington

any rough ideas of cost ? ?

 

wow, that's pretty close...

i'd have to talk to my buddy to see where he got his done cuz he got a good deal but im a detailer for Erin Mills Acura's bodyshop so i'll ask to see if i can get a good price.

I'd say be willing to pay close to 1-2g's, that's what i'd say but i'll find out from work and my buddy

 

I found the Acura dealer paint pen never matches your car.. or the Paintscratch.com kit I bought in 2005. I have rust around the grill but after three years it's still pretty minor so I left it. I would have to repaint my whole hood anyway, there's scratches from an accident I had in 2004.

If you get aerosols don't use a cheap clear.. the rear bumper I painted in 2004 has a lot more rock chips than the rest of the car.

 

what is it with canada and rust? ive been hearing a lot about that. is there something about your guy's weather?

 

it snows alot there, thus alot of salt on the roads

 

damn... rust aint something to play with...

 

Where are the pics? I have rust too!

 

Everyone that doesn't live in cali pretty much has to deal with that
