engine bay help
Hey guys...got a problem...shavin my bay. So far its almost dome and I havnt used any filler. ? Is there are little ( very little) nicks,pin holes and valleys from grinding and welding. How many coats of filler primer can be laid until it cracks. It's a drag car with solid mounts so there's a lot of vibration. I can't afford cracks after the car is painted.
Any help would be awsome. Also the car will be painted a flat color.( lambo retention color) will these blemishes be noticeable with the flat color????

Re: engine bay help
u will see them....BEST is to weld and grind more metal in...if you dont want rediculous hours of that to get perfect...use some decent "iceing" and keep it thin coats

Re: engine bay help
as for primer, you can use as much as you want, as long as it's real catalyzed primer. for good hardening high build filler primer, usually 3-4 wet coats is good enough. don't even think about using rattle can primer over any kind of body work, whether it's bare metal grind marks or actually filler. after just a short time or after any significant heating and cooling cycle the rattle can stuff will sink and look terrible. use a real 2K primer and load it on. give it more than the suggested time to cure before you block sand it. i like to wait a day or two for really important high end stuff, just to be sure it's not going to shrink up a little.
