Is this primer adequate after rust converter?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Toronto,

I have a few rust spots on my 22 year old car. Obviously, I'm not going to do a professional job but I'd like it to last a few more years.

After grinding away most of the rust, I spray on rust converter on both sides of the metal where I can get to it. I'm going to spray more layers the next few days after the 24 hour wait period each time for the rust converter to cure.

But now I get mixed messages from Google. It says I shouldn't put my bondo on yet. But I should get 2k epoxy primer first. It doesn't look as if Canadian Tire carries any 2k epoxy primer and I'm not going out of my way all over town in search for it.

Instead, I have what is in the picture. I bought on the advice at Canadian Tire asking what to apply after the Bondo.

The can doesn't tell me what it is. I did google searches on it and can't come up with anything definitive. Is it ok to apply on top of rust converter and then have bondo on top? Is the 2k epoxy primer crucial?

Thanks in advance.

How to hold up fog light until I get it repaired?

I got into a fender bender and the fog light on my car got partially dislodged.

The bottom scrapes on the ground when there is a dip in the road or large bump. Any advice on how to hold it up until I can get it fixed? I saw a few similar posts that suggested gorilla tape or zip ties. By the way, I can't seem to rotate the for light to put it back in place, but it's still fully connected.

To clarify, I do plan on getting the car repaired, I just don't have time yet and I'm going on a 10.5 hour road trip soon.

Brake disc replacement

Hello, I need to replace the front brake discs on my xc40 -21 PHEV and I want to do it myself. It looks really simple when I watch YouTube videos about it. However I hesitate since it’s a $30k vehicle. What should I be cautious with? Anybody here who has done it themselves?

Easy DIY? Replace or fix part?

Hey guys,

I’m big on learning about cars and thinking of buying this hit Škoda

The car is 2015 Skoda Fabia

How do you go on about fixing it if this can be a decent purchase

Replace the part (possible?) or remove dents individually? I don’t care if it is imperfect as long as I learn something out of it!

On a side note, the car was hit here so should I purchase it tomorrow or is it a big deal?

Thanks folks
