Sandblasts to white metal, installs a copper backing plate then sprays metal with a mig welder with an air assist (made by Miller about 15 yrs. ago). I saw some amazing before pics & fantastic finished fenders & doors including a 40's convertable, that he did years ago. The pics show being able to see ALL the way through the door on the right from the left side. Very impressive but that car was garaged & probably not a daily driver. Anyone have experience with this process?

The man has made a pretty nice living doing this long term.
He's also a Zero Rust dealer is how I know of him. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 125 6 heaven | | 6 heaven Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 125 | I would like to know more about this process,any details would be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | My dad used to manage a paper mill where they did this in place to build up the surface of a warn out Yankee dryer.
