Well, i've been removing mass amounts of tar off my wheel wells and I noticed on the rear left wheel well, i've hit part of the metal, and I don't think I was supposed to?? What will this affect? What did I do? Will this rust easy? if so can I fix it????

I guess it might be my computer but I can't see your pictures, so I don't really know what your talking about. What metal did you hit, part of the frame or fender or what? whatever it is I'm sure you just gotta hit it with some spray paint to keep the rust off.

I'll fix the pictures in like 2 seconds. I'm talking about the left rear wheel well. i'M talking about the black stuff, in the wheel well...


I hit metal on the fender I guess. There's black stuff coating the rear wheel wells, some of it was tar, but some of it was a protectant or something. What does it do? What can I do to fix it? What will happen if I dont?

If I go to your rear left tire, put your head in the well and look up you'll see what i'm talking about. It's the black coating that coats the wheel well. I had tar all over mine, but I removed some of the other coating and hit paint/metal on accident. What is it? How do I replaced it? If I don't what will I harm? Will that spot rust easy? ect

Thank you very much lol. It was caked with mass amounts of tar, it still has a decent amount, but after spending $75+ on tar removal products, Kerosene, WD40...I think i'm done with trying to remove all of it lol.

I'd leave the tar under there. It'll protect the sheet metal underneath more than anything.
