  • Good body filler

    What is the best body filler out there? Is bondo ok, or is there better stuff? I was at a body shop and they had all sorts of different fillers from fiberglass, to stuff with metal or something in it

    Bondo had been improved from the heavy crap it used to be, butlook for a parts place that carries Evercoat, much better stuff.



    but do your metal work first, using more than a 1/4" of any filler
    should be avoided, use fiberglass instead if things are really
    messed up.

    Last, use icing or glaze putty for final work rather than lacquer
    putty, as much as I used to use #M Acryl Blue, these do better
    for even small pinholes


    And no, I don't work for Evercoat, its just good stuff :lol:

      ^^ i second that go with evercoats lightweight body filler.....feathers nice doesn't shrink over time if used with a sealer of somesort. I would stay clear of ever 1/4"...more like 1/16 to an 1/8th IMO.

        and remember if you bondo over rust you're wasting your time. It will pop out in a short time.
