Finished the filler work on the entire rear bumper today and shot a heavy coat of epoxy primer to seal it all up. I'm very satisfied with how it all came out, especially the weld area.
It appears the previous owner did a complete bare metal respray on the car when she changed the color as I haven't found any origional lacquer left on any of the panels I've stripped thus far. Therefore following the suggestions of some other pelicanites and am going to stop bare metal stripping and instead will focus on fixing my rust and chip issues. I'll block sand the finish to the top coat of primer.
I found some headlight ring rust thats a little more aggressive then the rust on the other fender. Any suggestions on how to procede? I spent about 40 min with a wire wheel trying to get it all out but I couldn't get all the rust removed. The pictures speak for themselves.
Bumper in Primer!
Headlight ring rust.
