I wanted the experts opinion on this . I was at the local auto club , and one of the guys there said I need to get ALL of the dark spots in the pits on the metal .... is this the case ? or can I get away with some metal ready , clean part , and POR15 it . Thanks .....

 

Well, when I do it, I try hard to get all those little bits, but I know my father always says I'm crazy and do it too well.

I figure if I've gone that far, I may as well finish the job.

Ha Ha ! My wife tells me I go to far all the time . and I'm not talking dirty either . Yea I figured I would need to get all of it ... darn

 

C'mon - once you're married, you can't go "too far."

Though you can go far enough that you end up in the doghouse...

When the doghouse is the back seat of an Olds, how can we complain?

 

youll be fine as is.

 

Thanks for the input guys . I was going to drill a couple of 1/8 holes through the last part on the bottom that can be seperated from the support/brace , so I can get it aligned properly again . I'm sure there is rust under there too .

 

POR15 was meant to be applied over rust, so you prepped it much better than the paint was designed for. It will be fine as others have said.

 

Yea , I don't know what I was worried about . I guess I got a little overboard with it . Thanks again for the replies
