Is this good for body work? I need to do some rust repair.

It does pretty well on sheet metal. Keep the amps down and the wire feed slow.

I don't know that I would use it for high torque applications, but for everyday maintenance and road repairs it's more than sufficient.

It's more than perfect for the job. I build models and have a friend that used it for doing some shirts. He liked it so much he got one for himself.

How minor? I wouldn't use this to do any frame work or any heavy repairs on a car. But for little odd light jobs, it works well. Let's say you wanted to remove your door handles from the car. And needed to weld a filler plate over the hole. This setup should work well. Great for exhaust work too. However, I don't think I would use this to replace a full quarter panel, IMO. It's good for odds and ends. Spatters a lot as well, but then again, it is flux core. That's been my experience in the few times I have used it. I like it overall though.

This unit would work fine for a parts cleaner. You will have to do some research on the appropriate media to use on the parts you want to clean.

I wouldn't use it to cover that, since rust will spread. It's to cover parts so they don't get heated up.

It's great for automotive work too - good for anything where your hands and under your nails will get oil and grease. I scratch it under my nails and rub into the edges of each fingernail. I don't use gloves with it unless I am working with coolant or really harsh chemicals that can damage or be absorbed into your skin.

I cannot answer your question directly because I have not done what you want to do. However, I did paint the converted rust without any problems and it has held up very well. I think an issue would be where one of the solvents in your the bondo or epoxy starts attacking the converted rust. If I were you, I would convert a small area and then test it with some of your material. I think you want to be sure not to put any of repairing material over rust which has not been converted or removed entirely. Keep it mind that converted rust is textured, whereas the repaired surface probably will be smoother, or at least noticeably different. There are other similar products on the market which have FAQs. You may want to do an online search for them. Also, YouTube has many videos of repairing cars which were rust converted. I think there's one which discuses your concerns. Good luck.

Yes it works well. You just have to sand off the chunks of rust first then spray this on. I used it for the bottom of my car.

I'm sure it would depend on how bad the surface was. Mine was light / new rust. I didn't do any prep and had great results.

This gun is not good for large jobs. It is more for touch up work. That being said, it will handle the paint okay. You will have to thin it and spray many coats to get good coverage. Practice on a piece of old wood or cardboard until you get the spray adjusted and it will do a good job on small projects.

I have not used it for that buy sure it will & then put on a bit of a protection. I use it for my motorcycle metal parts. It took away mild rust on chrome & polished metal along with water spots & road grime. It made easier to just wipe down for awhile before using it again. I do the tea pot & some other stuff like that for my wife also. I love the product

Regular body panels on most cars should be fine. Just use low power and set the wire feed speed a bit slow. Also, clean the area you are welding with a wire wheel or grinder. I have used mine for trailer repairs with pretty good success and I'm no welder by any stretch of the imagination.

This tool is the right one for this job. The thread that comes with it is fairly heavy. This may or may not be the look you are trying to achieve. You could use other threads.

Works great and on most materials. Use a self healing mat under your project. &#128077;

Body work... if sanding is your goal well I guess so. For detailing a car, definitively not!

I would think so. The finish appears appropriate and I doubt if rust over a period of short years would be an issue.
