Hello there,
It looks like there is rust coming through the door panel of my car (pic related).
Normally I would just sand, prime, paint, clear, wax/buff, but I'm worried if I tackle this one, I'll end up with a hole in my door, since rust shows on both sides. If I fill the hole with a fiberglass/epoxy patch, will it be strong enough? It's right above my driver-side door handle, i.e. one of he most frequently grabbed parts of the car, so I'm worried about making a durable fix for the rust spot.
Thanks in advance for the help
Yes, fiberglass body filler will be strong enough
This is a high stress area.
Literally part of the integrity of the window frame portion of your door.
Also adds in strength to passenger compartment during rollover.
For a proper repair, door needs to be stripped of surrounding components and welded.

So quick question, not op here.
I want to make my windows darker in my car, is putting foil on the inside of the windows hard? or is it ezypzy
Get a decent door from a junkyard. Repainting the entire car will be less hassle than trying to get a repair at that spot to look, fit, function correctly.

Tinting your windows is not the easiest thing to do, but its doable

One does not simply perfectly match paint on a car.

You're 100% wrong.
You can match paint perfectly.
You can even repair and blend small spot without re-painting the whole panel.
Its not 1964 anymore. Paint codes no longer vary wildly between batches.
And with most paint jobs being two stage base/clear, even an amateur can belnd spot repairs.
