Miniman... I wrot ths so U'd understan it.

Where zactly R the holes U ned 2 fil? If U cant weld U ned 2 sand off awl th rust to bare metl. If U ken pas MOT w/o these repairs bean metl, use GRP 2 fix it. If U ned metl, use acid flux and a HOT soldering iron 2 install metl patches. Use plastix fill-r over the soldered patch 4 appearance. All acid flux must B removed B-4 filler applied. Dry sand 2 blend repairs, then prime from a spray can followed by mor sandin 'n top coat from a can.

I can't stand abbreviated, non-English web speak.

me neeva i tink it sux

- in terms of the rust miniman5, then dklawson's advice is really good, make sure you get rid of ALL the rust before you do any repairs though else it will just rust through again in a very short time

did you use a spray can, if you did then that might be the answer, no two cans of spray are perfectlly matched

[dklawson]

As Cowboy said, spray cans don't usually match the color of the paint on your car... or each other if they aren't from the same production lot. If you want to invest in an exact match you'll need to take a removable painted part of your car to a paint shop and have them blend an exact match. Some paint shops can put this into an aerosol can for you. If they can't, as a minimum you'll need to invest in an inexpensive air brush to apply the custom paint. In the U.S. the minimum purchase is about 1 pint of paint.
