A Rusty Body Panel Thread

Sand down to bare metal. Apply water/saltwater to it.

If I'm not mistaken, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide give it that bright orange look.

we just started our first rust attempt on my buddy's probe hood. we've just been letting nature take it's course, and after 2 weeks, it's barely rusty. we're thinking about pouring myriatic (sp) acid on it to see if it helps.

[JDM Babaganoosh]

i can't bring myself to doing this to my e36

can't wait to get my volvo

[jpod999]

My shits weak.



About to change it up though.

Can a E36 pull it off? I really want to do it!

lol, got an extra hood lying around, have to try that on my Ford.. ^^

[bobbitt]

that looks totally wicked n nasty on such a new car!

[Effin' Euro]

i've heard of people using bleach too....

i think it can be pulled off (both of mr. b's cars, that e46, civic, and mk3 up there all pull it off imo) but too many people do it just to be "cool" and do it on a car where it doesn't really work. to me it looks best on black or white cars. and the type of rust makes a difference in the look as well.

Rust looks best when it's natural in my opinion.

putting acid on metal is a bad idea, most acids eat metals, and instead of rusting it your going to dissolve it and remove rust. A lot of different kinds of acids are used to remove rust. An example is naval jelly, which has phosphoric acid is commonly used to remove rust

Mines no longer like this either, was fun for a min.
