As I have no bodywork experience, I wonder if it's standard to completely cover the body with filler, then sand it down (as seen on many of the Velocity Channel restoration shows) before applying primer and color coats? Obviously this amount of hand crafting is not done during initial manufacturing, but is there an advantage to this? Seems a high build sealing primer would make this unnecessary.

I think the goal would be no thicker than a credit card. If they are layering it on thicker than that........ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)
