There are a lot of haters out there.everyone is saying he shouldn't do this or that way.But most of the professional does the same thing just a little bit better and charge you a arm and a leg for it.Kurt keep doing what you are doing not everyone have 1000 to 1200 to give away to some of these so call professional paint shops.

i have almost worked as a car painter for one year in denmark, and with good grades, been removing rust, recreating forms of bodykits painted and stuff like that, and this this is my opinion: hes techniqes are good, not as it "should be" done. and not something worth paying more than a couple of beers for.. but i mean.. if he just want it to look OK for a year more, then this IS the way to go! too much effort to do it pro for an old car:) in my opinion.. :) love to see how people do stuff, so good video! btw kurt, you only need to add 2-4% hardener, but ofcourse 6% is making it faster, just keep in mind that too much hardener reduces the chemical "quality" of the product, and way too much hardener CAN actually make it undryable.. trust me! i have seen it myself ;)

Not too shabby for a diy home repair. Want it done professionally? Go to a body shop. Want to just patch an old car? This guy's fix will probably suffice. Everyone commenting about what a hack he is can go home now.

Thanx for the vid! I did this on my 84' ranger and it worked perfect. Yes yes yes I know all of the know it alls are going to say I'm an idiot and Kurts a hack. Blah blah. It's a great way to temporarily fix spots or for an older vehicle you don't want a bunch of rust spots popping out at you. I painted my truck flat black after this and it looks fine. Should hold up a few years until I drop it off at the junkyard and wipe my hands clean. Thanks again Kurt!

Good video. As a Granny who does her own auto body work, I also use wax paper for the body filler, it’s so easy to smooth out and requires much less sanding.

One thing about rust, if u don't cut out all the rust, no matter what u do, it will come back, so make sure u cut it all out
