Rust protection for cheap

Im wondering if theres a cheap way to paint this thing that won't look hideous. My main goal is rust protection till i can afford a high quality paint job. Any northerners that can chip in on ways to reverse minor rusting?

rustoleum

Regular baths of Fluid Film

Leave it how it is

You get a german car that was galvanized

RUST SERGEANT, RCMP

Rustoleum primer

Leave it as-is, patina that's legit wins you more brownie points than some Civic owner spraying his '97 coupe with vinegar to make it rusty. Do watch for any holes because despite the Pontiac badge, it's still a 60's GM car and will generate rust holes regardless of temperature.

Id love to leave it how it is but the rust is starting to pit in some areas and i dont want it to get worse

What is fluid film?

Rustoleum clear coat.

Cant believe no one has said lanolin. Protected my fathers BJ42 and 60 series landcruisers for years from rust. Mix it with diesel if you're running low.

Oily stuff made from lanolin and other junk. Undercoat my truck with it before every winter. Comes in spray cans or buckets

Ill go by autozone and walmart and see if they have some

>sand it all
>clean with rubbing alcohol
>spray it with a matte clear coat
>paint a skull or bomber graphics on it
>say "muh rat rod" and "muh patina" at car shows

For the pitted areas,

Gato zone for rust converter-acid

Eastwood for a spray that comes with a 4’ flex hose to get in frame rails and inside panels

Amazon por15 or rust bullet

Scrap off the thick rust
Apply converter
Apply por15
Scuff entire car with scotch brite
2k matte clear


Best thing you can do if you’re not gonna park it and have real work done.

what wheels are those? they look sick
sweet ride dude, do like that 1970 mustang dude and strip it to metal

>strip it to metal
I'd like to ask how people keep those bare metal cars rust-free ? Do they get it painted with clear coat ? Is it enough to keep it protected ?

i guess? havent really stripped a car bare to know

They are old pontiac rallye rims my dad pulled from the junkyard in 1986

>how people keep bare metal cars rust-free?
They don't. Bare steel will rust in open air due to humidity.

I got some rust inhibitor and painted some of the frame and engine bay. Its in mostly good shape except for a hole in the fender about the size of a half dollar under the chrome rocker panel im just going to leave it. I treated it with rust inhibitor, sanded it and treated it again. There was a big chunk of metal eaten by rust so i cut it out and im going to weld some sheat metal in its place. Will post pics tomorrow

just clear coat it to maintain that patina mang

Sandpaper and a wire wheel you faggot

Liar liar pants on fire, I found an abandoned 1961 buick skylark which was sitting sideways on a tree for 30 years and not a sign of rot. git gud

Thats the idea

Naval jelly

This is the hole in the fender

This was the massive chunk of metal eaten away. Im going to likely bolt a new panel over it and silicone it

The car in its current state

Regardless of exterior paint, you are speeding up rust by leaving it open and exposed like that.

Leaving the car outside?

Move to florida

Im in california. Even better

Repaired the giant rust hole and spray painted more of the frame
