Since rust has gone rampant on my car i thought about swaping the green hood and hatch in favor of the white one on the car. The hatch is fine on the green or blue one:grin: but the hood has rust on the front. But my white hood is all dented. What would you do.

I think the only real pain in the butt thing would be to change out the locks but i dont know how easy that is to do either.

How do you get away without having a plated car in an apartment complex ?

 

I would paint the whole car a flat olive drab, and put some camo patterns over the little dents it hides them well... (you did ask the general public)

keep your white hood, the green one is worse, it has a hole in it, not surface rust due to chips.

open up the green hatch, look for rust on the back side lip where the front sheet metal bends over to the back. Is there any rust, or at least very little on the green one.

Swap the green hatch with the white hatch. keep your old lock cylinder from the white hatch.

The green one is headed to a fate not yet determined so its not getting painted. Just a parts vehicle. The handle is also messed up on the green one.

I say paint them all dark silver hammerite. hides imperfections well.

Keep the white hood on and fix rust with sand paper, primer, paint then maybe repaint the green hatch white. Depends how much work you want to do. Main thing is to stop the rust so it don't get worse. good luck
