Anyone ever bondo a car? How'd you do it and if it's just little rust spots can't they just be painted? I need some tips here, I never had a rusty car before, they were always west coast wheels.

If you can sand the rust off and then prime it, you can.

i think she's right - i'd only worry about bondo if the rust is over a fairly large area.

definitely make sure you sand [i]all[/i] the rust down before doing anything else with it or it'll just rust away underneath the new paint.
and also, you traded in the bicycle for a car?
