Trying to prep my car for paint and i have tiny dings. any body filler recommendations?

 

I would just stick with Bondo it is one of the cheapest. I like the fiberglass filler it seams to be stronger.

 

bondo is horrible walmart brand filler, stick with evercoat products and you will be golden

 

/\ ignore this post.

like Spawne says, Evercoat. I prefer the Evercoat Rage Xtreme, but the standard Rage is also very good.

 

I like Evercoat too. But about Bondo look on the website they are made by 3M now they are basically the same as the 3M product. I think they bought them out years ago.

 

despite the fact that bondo is made by 3m, it is still a terrible product, ask anyone who does any body work proffesionally

 

when a company buys out another, it's not with the intent to change their product. they buy them out with the intent to not change a thing, and collect the profits under the same name using the same product. 3M didn't buy Bondo brand and then change the Bondo formula and ingredients to 3M stuff, they bought the brand name and made no changes except to their bank accounts.

Bondo brand fillers are complete garbage. No matter how you knead, flip, and press you can't ever 'mix' out the air pockets. no matter what brand or grit sandpaper you use, you'll use twice as much sanding Bondo. no matter how nicely you apply it and how well you prep the surface underneath, you'll never get Bondo to chemically etch into the metal and provide any corrosion protection.

if you'd rather save $10-$20 on filler, buy Bondo and spend that on the extra sandpaper and extra time required to fill pinholes and re-spread more filler and re-sand everything, and spend more money next time you have to make the same repair because the Bondo cracked out because the underlying surface corroded.

forget the Wal-Mart and Advance Auto Parts way of doing body work, and go buy a can of a good Evercoat filler and a tube of USC Icing and research proper filling and skim-coating techniques... do it the way the pros do.

 

evercoat. holler at yo girl

 

bondo does suck lol, i usually use "filler from the future" its works good does what its intended to do im happy with it

 

EVERCOAT RAGE ftw !!

 

yeah rage extreme is amazing ****, im currently using it and its so awesome.

 

evercoat with BLUE hardner...**** RED HARDNER

 

EVERCOAT!!!! Also if you really want a pro opinion check with your local autobody shop supplier, or autobody shop. Also something i read with the Red hardener is that some times it has a tendency to bleed through.

 

rage or evercoat are both great products. but as anyone will tell you, try to use it as little as possible. if you can tap it out, panel replace or pull it, do so. do not make the mistake on filling rotted quarters with 1/2 gallon of mud.

sticking to these tips will make your work last a hole lot longer.

 

i also shrinks more then filler with blue hardner

 

rage , spot lite, metal glaze. good products
