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 see the use of high build primer in the USA lots ,is that just Bondo (we call it bog ) ? or as I assume a high solids epoxy ???.
Happy to run a skim off Bondo on a repair with the surface prep and mixed properly otherwise its a waste of time. As for a whole car that's just BS,I see quite a few metal finished flare installs on here seems most use a little filler to blend in the weld area. |
