so there were little bubbles above the rear wheel....... i was removing this black thing that the previous owner had added on and while i was peeling it off........ a chip of paint about 1 inch came off!!! i can tell its gonna rust soon because i can see bare metal... is there a way i can get just that spot painted up or will i have to get the whole car repainted which isnt gonna happen

 

you could get a custom mix done that's faded to your color now, and fix that area. But fender wells are a PITA to get smooth and clean looking.

 

phew thanks for the info... thought i was totaly screwed.. lol i feel much better now.. gonna check up how much that patch will cost to fix soon.

 

I garuntee you'll get bubbles above your real wheel wells anyways. Common spot for them. I have tiny ones above mine, but it still bugs me. Some shop quoted me about $500 for fixing both of them. I figured it wasn't worth it because they'll come back. Plus you can hardly see them unless you really look.

Anyone else got any bubbles?

 

how big was your bubbles? and was it only on the flat part or the curved part.. mines only on the flat part which i think is easier to repair/repaint because its flat.. hopefuly this aint gonna cost me to much to fix.. dam ownin and runnin a car aint freakin cheap

 

yea i have small rust lines near my rear wheel well pisses me of ahahhaa

 

Honda rust FTL

 

They're on the flat part right above the wheels. The bubbles are about the size of my knuckle, but the visible rust is very miniscule, just a dot.

 

Yay bubbles yay! hehehe

 

welcome to owning a 10+ year old honda

 

Yeah I got bubbles too... but only on under the gas door. The other side i know is rusting though because i had to clay bar off the residue when i bought the car... which reminds me i need to take care of that side and seal it before it NOM NOMs into my paint.

 

i dont..... I have this little pencil eraser sized thing of rust right at the very bottom middle front of my hood. hope that makes sense lol


EDIT: foudn another way to put it. the most bottom portion of my hood in the center underneath my grill lol

 

screw it.. im not gonna take the shop and spend a couple bills to make a 5 grand car a a bit better... my plan for that small patch of pissing paint, i will be using silicone so water doesnt get in and rust it up.. anyone else got any ideas to prevent this metal from rusting?... also ive found some spots of clear coating chipped off but i dont think that part will rust for a lil while.. but anyways maybe ill put small bit of clear silicone there.
