So my mom scratched up the side of her car a while ago and she only told me about it now. The scratches are surface level and the several rust spots are about 1 inches by 5 inches big. I figure I'll do the repairs myself since the rust spots are pretty small and it's an old ass beater car.
I've never done this before though so I'm not too sure of the process involved, and I have no tools either. I'm thinking I need to get sandpaper first to sand off the rust first (what grit?) then prime over the bare metal? Is there a special primer I need for this or can I just get any primer that goes on metal? What paint do I need and will I need to apply some sort of top coat at the end? It's a shitty old car so I don't care if the colors don't match up exactly or whatever. I just want to fix up the scratches.

Dude wtf you botched that
The original scrape looked superficial enough you could have polished out 95% of it.
The rest could have been touched up cheap and easily. Now you gotta replace the whole lower bumper

Still have the filler on it?
Chip and crack it all off and then post another pic so we can get it looking good again
>>1195468
sand it down and try again. Buy some color matched aerosol paint, and it will at least look presentable.

I'm not even annoyed by this, it seems a clever and original way to bump your own thread.

I'm the op and it's not even me doing it. I'm guessing it's two random faggots jerking each other off with really? back and forth.

rust on a plastic bumper?
REALLY?
>>1195288
Bumpers on cars are plastic. Order a black primed one and throw it on mom's whip. If she asks why it looks different, tell her it's because she drives like shit and to enjoy her rice.

I can't stop laughing. Shit seriously.... it couldn't have gone more wrong. You could have just buffed that out. If it was actually scratched through the paint, you could of just lightly feather edged with sandpaper and 1 light coat of a "icing putty" and then sanded off the excess putty so make it all smooth and uniform. Hit it with some fresh paint and it would look fine.
