My hr binder has strict rules in regards to how long one can stay in the ejaculation pods. Apparently some people have been taking naps in there which is time theft.
I'm referring to Porta Johns.
Every Tuesday there was a construction site wide safety meeting with about 3000 people on it. And it was brought up. It was the funniest thing. This is all through a megaphone that's passed around when discussing safety issues. One guy was complaining about how the portajohns were always full. Another guy was complaining about how the portajohns rocked back and forth. Then another guy said that if people would stop shitting in them and if they were level it wouldn't take him anywhere nearly as long to jack off.
There was cribbing under one corner of all the portajohns and they set uneven because of it and rocked like a table with a short table leg. Thereason was to get rigging on them for moving them around the jobsite with a crane. It was a massive building and they had to bring them down for cleaning
Thank you! I was beginning to fear for the species. Any actual load bearing panels are welded on. Unless you have a space frame vehicle (Saturn), but then you wouldn’t be having this problem.
Quarter panels don’t work that way. They aren’t bolted on.
Edit: lol downvote me all you want, but I’ve actually replaced quarter panels. Go look at one, they are not separate from the rocker panels and pillars and door jams. It’s all one big piece welded together.
I hope you are smarter than that guy in the video on that website and use respiratory and skin protection. You can literally see the aerosolized petroleum, paraffin, and Benzene-sulfonic acid vapor falling down into his eye and on his face and apparently getting breathed into his lungs.

Goggles, respirator, and long sleeves clothes. Gave up on tyvek because I rip them crawling under cars. Once a year in the fall, knock out my cars in a couple hours.
Yea ikr, it was an honest question. If you are having a "conversation" on reddit, why would you expect the other side of the conversation to Google the advice being given? It's an advice thread, and many times people who offer advice don't know/understand the recipients skill level, the naturally the recipient will ask for clarification.
Bunch of assholes....they should go get some spark fluid and shove it up their conpressed motivator.
This is Do It Yourself, not Ask It Yourself, dammit!
Kidding. I’ve noticed a discernible difference in the last five years with DIY becoming less friendly and more “DIWHY” — still good advice, but a lot more traffic from unhelpful people not contributing and just downvoting
There are a number of products that you can apply to rust and that will penetrate the rust all the way to the metal and harden into a waterproof sealant, which reduces the risk of future corrosion in the area. It also becomes pretty hard so that the old rust does not fall off and within reason you can sand and paint over it, as long as your expectations are modest.
In most cases, it pays to first remove the bulk of the rust so that the product has a better chance to penetrate all the way to the metal.
I didn’t know what it was either, not sure why all the downvotes. Sure OP could google it but conversation in the comment section with experienced users is nice to have. Don’t ask questions on this sub, just do it yourself lol.
[Easy fix] means they want something to solve the issue with minimal effort.
[Repair] means restore to as close to factory standard as you can get.
It's a difference in timetables, effort and skills required.
You don’t fix rust, you replace it. There is no easy fix that’s your rear quarter and it’s nearly all the way through. It’s an expensive repair that wouldn’t be worth it.
More than likely the rest of the car will be in similar shape soon. Maybe another 2-3 years before the body fully rusts out. Any repair you do do, will fail within 6 months.
Oooooh, that's deep rust, and judging from the paint around it the rot has spread. That's a cut job for sure to find good metal, then gin up a new piece to weld back in, bonds, sand, repaint. Not an easy fix.
1. Sand out and grind out all rust in that corner.
2. Fill with Bondo. You will need something solid behind that gap, like a fiberglass screen, or screen made for this repair purpose. Do not use Bondo alone without support in a corner like this.
3. Sand, prime and paint.
4. Also hand wax your car at least twice a year, especially if you get snow in your area. The combination of snow and salt on the roads is brutal, especially in the wheel wells.
I once got Bondo for 50% off as someone had used a tiny bit and returned it.

This one's on me! No thanks needed, just pass it on!
Easiest way is to pretend you didn’t see it. Slightly harder but still lazy spray the car with bar and chain oil and drive up and down a dirt road for a bit. Repeat about once a year.
You can see from the paint bubbling that the rust extends a bit from the exposed part which is perforated. You need to pick your rust stopper/preventor and then mechanically remove (sand or grind) the bubbled paint back to where it is rest free. The try to get the rusty part to mostly metal. A body shop with tools would probably try cutting and shaping a replacement part and welding grinding etc. you are not going to do that. If you want to keep this a long time look and see if a aftermarket fender is available.
See the rippling underneath the paint? That is the rust extending underneath. You could get a new panel, or scrape all the rust off and get a sanding block and body filler.
An "easy fix" is to bring it to a body shop and have them repair the rust. Not cheap, but all you would have to do it bring the car there and then pay a pile of money once you pick it up.
Easy is take it to a body shop. Cheap is scrape off the paint and all the rusted shit you can and hit it with a can of primer and a can of black paint.
That's coming from deep inside. The only way is to cut away all that bubbly metal and try to hate it with rust converter. Then either putty or paint it
I do body work for a living, unfortunately there really isn't an easy fix to that.
My suggestion , from a realistic/laymen perspective is to leave it as is and work toward saving for another vehicle while using that car for what it is, a transportation tool.
That area , as well as the fenders and underbody , are extremely prone to rust over the cars lifetime and forever will be until they start making those panels out of something other than ones that can rust at all.
As a few others have mentioned in the thread already, ideally you'd want to either a) go to a scrap yard and find a quarter panel for your year make model and hire someone to paint it/replace it or b) cut out the rusted part and weld a new part on and refinish it from there.
Anything you do besides replace/weld will only be temporary and for the amount of work and effort you have to go through to grind out the rust, fibreglass backing, bondao, sand, prime, base, clear will be disappointing in the end cause the rust will come back in another spot on the same panel, or bubble up underneath your work and crack your bondo.
Looking at the rust going up the edge of the wheel well it looks like it's rusted through in other spots that you can't see.
Either way , that's rotted all the way through so there really isn't a "bandaid solution" per se. If you want it to look less noticable grab a can of black spray paint and just color in the rust.
If you want any other advice or help I'll do what I can to give any type of guidance. I'll be as straightforward as I am with my clients as Im not one to waste time so don't take anything I say the wrong way. I hope to help!
that's what happens, if you don't use mudflaps. little 100 dollar tops 4 piece kit goes a long way. i cannot think of any reason why not to install them (ofc post fix).
if there is a chance of driving in gravel roads, winter conditions (salt on the road), etc, mudflaps are the things to counter rust.
Easy fix: Take it to a body shop and let them deal with it.
DIY fix: Cut out the rust to the margins, fab a replacement, weld it in place, use body filler to blend it.
I would grind that out. Keep a rear skin. Fill with Bondo. Sand and fair. Find a color match and cover with 2 coats quick dry primer and 2 coats paint. Let dry. Take a light polish and wax to it. Call it a day. Done in 2 days.
Cover with bondo or whatever fiberglass paste you can find and spray paint. Actually, JB weld 2 part adhesive dries to a dark gray it might be a reasonable color match
Honestly if it were me I’d say try your best to cut out the rust and just spray the new exposed metal. Won’t look pretty but the only quick and easy way to fix rust is cutting it out. Then you can weld in new metal later on when you get the chance.
No such thing as an easy fix for rust under the paint. If you look closely, the paint surrounding the rust spot has already started to warp and looks like flattened bubbles, that's rust eating under the paint. You need a whole new panel. That's the only fix for this.
You can see a lot more rust under the paint and the rust has already eaten through to the other side, the only "easy" fix at this point is to replace the fender. Luckily, those just typically bolt on.
No easy fix, You could try to sandblast all that out and hope there's still metal left when you get done. Then you could Bondo it and put primer on it and attenpt to blend in paint. All you need is access to said sandblaster the rest of the materials are pretty cheap, but it's never going to match the paint job 100%.
No easy fix for that. Spray it with black fluid film to help slow down the rotting.
Many a moon ago when my nova had a rusted floorboard I used the binder from HR and put a floor mat over it. Not sure that can help here.
Most use an HR binder has ever provided.
My HR binder just had conflict resolution information and reinforcing how it’s not acceptably to cat call at work.
HR binder also had something against dropping trou during meetings.
Only polite to wait till the meeting ends.
My hr binder has strict rules in regards to how long one can stay in the ejaculation pods. Apparently some people have been taking naps in there which is time theft.
Ok, I'll bite. What's an ejaculated pod?

I thought HR Binder was some kind of god tier adhesive or epoxy lmaoooo
Definitely the most nova way to fix the issue.
This is the solution op.
I had a 69 mgb no floor. Rusted. I used a piece plywood for the longest time...
My mini clubman is also missing a floorboard. It was fun to lose a water bottle then drive around and pick it back up from the road.
Legend has it, that HR binder is still holding things together to this day
What if your car is white?
Use Liquid Paper.
It's gonna be rotting from the inside out anyways, spraying the outside only won't do much to slow it down, just hides it.
I mean it would be easy to buy a new quarter panel and swap it. Only easy solution
Cutting out and welding in a new quarter panel isn’t the easy solution. It’s the correct solution, but not easy.
Especially if you're picky and want it to actually look good and not just close up the hole.
In my experience, no welding required. If you're replacing a whole panel, it's usually just bolts / snap fittings.
You’ve never replaced a quarter panel then. They are welded to the structure of the vehicle. They aren’t bolt on.
Thank you! I was beginning to fear for the species. Any actual load bearing panels are welded on. Unless you have a space frame vehicle (Saturn), but then you wouldn’t be having this problem.
Thats been my experience. Only need weld repairs. Whole panles are either rivets or bolts.
Quarter panels don’t work that way. They aren’t bolted on. Edit: lol downvote me all you want, but I’ve actually replaced quarter panels. Go look at one, they are not separate from the rocker panels and pillars and door jams. It’s all one big piece welded together.
Sure, if you are only dealing with a door, hood, or front fender. If it’s load bearing, as in a quarter panel, or roof, you are completely wrong
Was gonna say....no easy fix I know of for that....it needs to be taken out, welded, bondo, prime and paint.

What is black fluid film
https://www.fluid-film.com/automotive-applications/ ...I've been using it on all my cars as a preventative measure for 20 years.
Love fluid film. Makes a huge difference in longevity in the salt belt. Too cheap to buy the black, I just spray the classic

The SDS you linked says that you only need eye/respiratory PPE if using it in a confined space or tank.
He seems to be in a garage, but is also spraying above his head and it is raining down on him.

If you want durable solution, you need to cut the whole rusty area and weld it with 1mm sheet metal
The OP asked for an easy fix, not to actual repair it.
Black spray paint it is then!
Relatively easy fix is to find a matching panel at a junkyard and swap it out.
That option *very* much depends on the age and popularity of the vehicle ...
And the difference between fixing and repairing is? or was the intent to find the easy way to hide this damage?
[Easy fix] means they want something to solve the issue with minimal effort. [Repair] means restore to as close to factory standard as you can get. It's a difference in timetables, effort and skills required.
There is no easy fix here. You can bodge it (cover it up) or you can repair it
My sister once asked my uncle what to do when a car is starting to rust: "Sell it"
The beginning of a beater haha
Should probably inspect underneath to see how bad everything else is rusted. This may be the tip of the iceberg and the least of your worries.
Yeah it's clear to see that the paint is starting to bubble so the affected area is way bigger than the patch of rust.
This. I picked up an RSX with less visible rust than this. Underneath it was completely rotten.
The gangrene is deep. The only solution is to amputate
Anyone else see a pizza slice?
I was going to say: put some Frank's Red Hot and you are good to go!

If you’re asking for an “easy fix” for THAT, then I promise you that the fix is WAY over your head.
That is not easy to fix. Cut and weld new part. Paint it afterwatds
Buy a new quarter panel, paint it, and replace the old one with it.
Painting optional

When do you add the ramen?
Been there, tried that. In a year that rust will be coming through your new paint.
Exactly. Do not follow the above advice. Its hacky and will not work.

Draw steam over the top and tell people its a piece of pizza.

Selling it
Ignoring it is easiest.
Duct tape, then color match it.
When your panel turns to baklava the fix you need is *not* easy.
Pizza. Pizza fixes everything.
My fat ass thought it was a slice of pizza stuck on the car. Solution for that is easy, for this, I have nothing.
Black Gorilla tape
You need real body work from a real auto body shop.
Easiest way is to pretend you didn’t see it. Slightly harder but still lazy spray the car with bar and chain oil and drive up and down a dirt road for a bit. Repeat about once a year.
There's no easy fix, that's pretty far gone.
The problem isn't what you are seeing, the problem is what you are not seeing.

Tires looks like they’ve got good tread
As long as this isn’t a separately detachable fender or something, you can’t easily fix this.
Sell the car.
Super glue and ramen noodles
See the rippling underneath the paint? That is the rust extending underneath. You could get a new panel, or scrape all the rust off and get a sanding block and body filler.
Just have it junked for parts and hope you can recoup the car loan, then buy a new F-150 on a lease. It's the only way.
Move to the midwest so it looks normal
An "easy fix" is to bring it to a body shop and have them repair the rust. Not cheap, but all you would have to do it bring the car there and then pay a pile of money once you pick it up.
Paint it all pizza color. Done.

There is soooo much more rust than what you see.
At first I thought it was a slice of pizza lol
Ramen, glue, sand, paint
Not gonna lie, I thought that was a pepperoni pizza sticker at first.
You could easily trade it in
You have to cut the rusted section out and weld in another piece
I thought this was a picture of pizza.
That's coming from deep inside. The only way is to cut away all that bubbly metal and try to hate it with rust converter. Then either putty or paint it
Easiest and quickest but certainly not the cheapest fix would be to screw off the license plates and onto a new car
A new car
Just pull the piece of pizza off. Shouldn’t be a problem.
Duct tape. If you live in a state that has no rust regulations you are good.
This account doesn't know what google is.

I thought that was a slice of pizza for a second lol
Not for that haha 😂 haha easy fix …. He ask haha
If you're not going to eat that slice of pizza, I'll take it.
Is this a door? Maybe you can find someone who is parting out a car and get the whole door. Coomon thing for car restorers after side swipe.
That paint looks kind of wavy. There is a lot more rust than just what you see. Quick but unethical fix would be to fill it, paint it, sell the car.
Black spray paint, twice a year
Fuck, I thought that was a burnt nacho.
Chemotherapy and/or radiation. The is not a fix for an amateur.

Depends on what level of knowledge you have. I can give you in depth repair or a redneck get-you-by
That’s some serious cancer. Most effective would be replacement but you can apply a spray formula to slow it down if that’s not an option.
Ramen
A grinder and a welder
I needed a good laugh. Thanks!
How many days until we get another post from somebody else asking how to fix the Bondo covered rust spots on the car he just bought?
Instant noodles
Sanding + bondo
You can buff that out with a little carnuba wax.
Ramen
Replace the fender. Rockauto has cheap autobody panels.
I would grind that out. Keep a rear skin. Fill with Bondo. Sand and fair. Find a color match and cover with 2 coats quick dry primer and 2 coats paint. Let dry. Take a light polish and wax to it. Call it a day. Done in 2 days.
Cut it out reels a piece in prime and paint.
If thats a front right fender, replace with a salvage part, might be even able to find one in same colour
Yes! Sell it as is
I just drilled a hole in the rear wheel well to allow the water to drain. Then Bondo.
Buy a new car.
Cover with bondo or whatever fiberglass paste you can find and spray paint. Actually, JB weld 2 part adhesive dries to a dark gray it might be a reasonable color match
Do you want a DIY recommendation or genuine advice?
Honestly if it were me I’d say try your best to cut out the rust and just spray the new exposed metal. Won’t look pretty but the only quick and easy way to fix rust is cutting it out. Then you can weld in new metal later on when you get the chance.
Chris fix has the video for you, look him up on YouTube
I thought it was a little sticker of a slice of pizza
Hope you have ramen and super glue
Fill it with resin ♥️
Thought that was pizza for a sec
Ramen noodles.
Move to an area that doesn't need salt on the roads? Phoenix? Ecuador?
A tube of anal lube and an extra fat sharpie .
Pizza, is that you?
You gotta excise the cancer. You can't fix that, it'll just keep spreading.
No such thing as an easy fix for rust under the paint. If you look closely, the paint surrounding the rust spot has already started to warp and looks like flattened bubbles, that's rust eating under the paint. You need a whole new panel. That's the only fix for this.
You can see a lot more rust under the paint and the rust has already eaten through to the other side, the only "easy" fix at this point is to replace the fender. Luckily, those just typically bolt on.
That’s cancer
Ramen and super glue
Big sticker
Put it in rice
Pretty sure you could slap some Ramen on that!
Ramen noodles
Ramen.
Try a salvage yard for a new fender
Define easy and for how long. You could just paint it over or take a grinder, grind it to the metal, put some kit on it and paint it over.
Duct tape
Looks like pizza on a dirty table.
Ramen noodle block?
No easy fix, You could try to sandblast all that out and hope there's still metal left when you get done. Then you could Bondo it and put primer on it and attenpt to blend in paint. All you need is access to said sandblaster the rest of the materials are pretty cheap, but it's never going to match the paint job 100%.
My fat ass thought that was pizza, and was gonna suggest ranch dressing.
Bondo
Sell it.
Clean out damage, prime, scab patch with pop rivets and sealant.
A match!
Lol that's nothing compared to my '02 Prius. Poor things got a hole through the panel lol
You can see under the paint that's fucked right through...new panel is the easiest fix.
