Can I save my fender?

Water is getting under my paint through a farly large chip in my fender. It looks veins under my paint. I'll seal it with a piece of vinyl if I can get the water out. Any ideas?

 

strip it and repaint....

 

X2 that thing needs new paint and the rust ground off

 

Yeah, honestly no other way to do that right than to completely strip it and repaint it. That water trapped in there is just doing nothing but eating away at the metal.

 

Any reputable collision shop should be able to fix that (strip and repaint) in a single day.

 

My 06 Tundra did the same thing. When dry it sucked tight again but it needs to be stripped and repainted.

 

dam.. does the whole fender need to be repainted?

 

This.

Clearcoat failed.
Cover it with vinyl and it'll rust to nothing... you'll NEVER get all of the water out.
