so i got the beasts bad side looking nice again, let me know what you think.... before and after pics

anyway how do you go about tackling rust holes on the body, recommendations on materials and what to do... thanks

 

Where on the body? I know you can buy "skins" or replacemant panels from LMC or JCW.

 

WOW Nice paint job man! How'd you do that, spray paint?
Regarding the rust, usually you spot weld them up or replace the panels with new ones and weld it up. Other than that i dont know what to do.
Oh and regarding the rest of the truck, you should use some rubbing compound on it to remove all the oxidation and dullness out of the paint and give it a nice finish, ive used it on my black that used to have a finish like yours where it was kinda rough and dull and it made it look new again. Then just wax it up with your favorite wax.

 

i used rustoleum on it and preped the surface real good then a rustoeum clear coat on top...

ok on the rest of the truck ill try that rubbing compound.

i have a couple of small rust holes on the beds fender on the driver side...

 

I'm starting to get the same thing on mine. I'm probably gonna by the new flares and weld them on. The only thing is, rust is like cancer if you don't stop it it will spread. On another truck I had I did the same thing.

 

Welding in new steel is always best. But fiberglass is another option. And bondo (body filler) is usually used for finishing it. But Bondo isn't really good and it does fall out after a while so try to use as little as possible and get the best stuff you can find. If you need much Bondo, get a heavier stuff, like "with fiberglass" or something.And if you put in new steel, it definitely helps if you can spray some sort of rust protection on the back if possible after you get it in place.
