Para aquellos que quieren restaurar o reconstruir un Corvette, el primer paso es quitar el óxido de las dos zonas más vulnerables a la roya: el marco y la jaula. The Birdcage “pernos en los rieles laterales del chasis e incluye postes de la puerta y un marco de parabrisas”, según el sitio web Chance Garage Segunda. Esto se oxida en la zona cuando se somete a una gran cantidad de humedad. Extracción de la herrumbre de la jaula lleva tiempo, pero es posible.
Cosas que necesitará
Almohadilla de lana de acero
Naval de la jalea
Trapos o toallas de papel
A prueba de óxido de imprimación
Pincel
Instrucciones
1
Raspar el moho superficial en la jaula con un estropajo de acero.
2
Vierta la jalea naval en la almohadilla de lana de acero. Aplique suficiente gel para cubrir completamente las áreas oxidadas.
3
Deje que la gelatina marina durante cinco a 10 minutos o según las instrucciones en la etiqueta. El ácido fosfórico en naval gelatina se disuelve rápidamente el óxido en el cilindro.
4
Limpie todos los restos de la jalea naval y el óxido con trapos o toallas de papel.
5
Aplicar un automóvil a prueba de óxido de imprimación a la jaula con un pincel. El cebador actúa como una barrera a la humedad y evita la formación de óxido. Deje secar la imprimación.

Repairing Rust Spots on Your Car

The rusty spots that you ignore today could adversely affect the appearance and value of your car tomorrow. Exposed metal caused by stones that fly up and nick the paint as you drive will oxidize when they’re exposed to moisture. Rust will form and, if left unchecked, it will spread quickly, especially during wet weather. That’s why it’s best to repair rust spots as soon as they appear.
Perform rust repair in a closed garage to shield the car from dampness, rain, and wind as you work. Also, be sure to wear gloves and safety goggles, and don’t forget to put on a painter’s mask when you spray on the paint.
Step 1
First, examine your car for rust spots and mark them. Then remove the rust with a wire brush.
Step 2
For best results, also remove paint and primer from the surrounding areas with sandpaper (220 grit). When you’re finished, you should be able to see clean metal around the rust spots.
Step 3
Next, fit a grinder with a metal grinding wheel and grind down the metal slowly and carefully. Wipe the dust away with a soft, clean cloth. The bare metal now has a finish that’s just right to accept paint.
Step 4
Secure plastic sheets or newspaper over the rest of your car with masking tape. Then apply primer formulated especially for bare metal with a brush. It’s okay if you also prime about ¼ inch of the unaffected paint. Apply three coats. Allow each to dry thoroughly between applications.
Step 5
Using matching paint, spray the area with three to five thin coats. Allow it to dry thoroughly between coats.
Step 6
To finish the job, wash and wax your car.
To keep your finish looking bright, regularly clean and wax your car. Also apply coats of corrosion protection to keep your car in good condition.
One little rust spot—that’s all it takes to ruin your car’s good looks and reduce its value. And if you ignore it, rust can spread, causing significant damage to the body. To prevent this, take care of rust as soon as it appears. The process is simple enough for anyone to complete at home, so long as the damage is minimal
Gathering the Necessary Materials
First, move your car into the shade and wash it. As it dries, gather the materials you’ll need: sandpaper (220 grit), a wire brush, a metal grinder, primer, matching paint, a rust inhibitor, soft cloths, a sheet of plastic, masking tape, and car wax. Then inspect the body, marking the rusted areas that need repair.
Preparing to Paint
Next, prepare your car for primer and paint. First, thoroughly remove the rust from your car’s surface with a wire brush. Scrub both the rusty patches as well as the one to two inches surrounding them. Then use sandpaper to smooth out the surface followed by a metal grinder to remove the last bits of paint and primer. Wipe away grit and debris with a soft cloth.
Priming and Painting
Now it’s time to prime and paint the patches. Before you begin, cover the rest of the car with plastic sheeting to protect it, and use masking tape to hold the plastic in place. Then, following the instructions on the label, apply a rust inhibitor to the sanded areas. When it’s dry, apply primer. Allow it to dry thoroughly before painting. As many as three coats of paint may be needed. Be sure the paint dries completely between applications.
Making the Final Touches
When the paint dries, remove the plastic and tape and wash the car. Finish up by applying a top-quality wax for extra shine and protection.
For long-term rust prevention, have your car professionally rust proofed. In the meantime, keep it looking good by repairing minor rust problems at home.
