Even regular maintenance of the body does not save from the appearance of flakes on the paint. And corrosion gradually progresses in them. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells how to remove it almost for free.
Many car owners remove the red dots themselves by simply covering the “hole” with paint that matches the body color. But this is not an option, because the processes destructive for the metal continue underneath. And after some time, a disguised chip turns into a serious problem.
In order not to spend money on repainting an entire body element at once, you can apply the proven old-fashioned method with ordinary superglue. But first you need to remove the layer that has already swollen. We do this with an ordinary administrative knife and sandpaper. We work extremely carefully not to damage the “healthy” paint nearby. Then we remove the rust with sandpaper and finally clean the place of repair from the metal.
By the way, you can use various chemicals to remove corrosion, but not zinc. Otherwise you will just ruin everything and end up with a hole in the details.
Then we take super glue and carefully close the “hole” with a thin layer, in no case beyond the limits. Do not forget about the fluidity of the sticky composition. Therefore, for example, it is better to open the hood in advance and raise it to the desired height.
To speed up the process, a so-called glue fixer is used. It is applied over a new layer and it immediately grabs it, preventing spreading. Thus, we have closed the access of the aggressive external environment to the metal. That is, corrosion in this place will no longer spread. In addition, the glue itself is an excellent base for paint and is quite capable of replacing car primer.
Now it’s time to apply the paint itself. After the process is completed, it remains to wait for it to dry. To speed up, they usually take an industrial hair dryer. At the end we process the repair place with a finishing layer of glue. The main thing is not to overdo it so that it does not protrude much above the surface. It remains to grind with “sandpaper” and polish the body part. All! You no longer have to worry about rust.
