okay....so im wonder if Bondo brand filler will be okay to use on my car....? (i have it at my house right now)

is there enough of a difference that i should order some filler from POR15 along with their self etching primer to go over filler and bare metal on my fender?

i would just use evercoat z grip filler as for using there self etching primer i would jst get some nason(dupont) acid etch primer or omni(ppg) then u have to use a regular sandable primer overtop (primer is not water proof it will absorb water if left exposed)

Shifty101Easy

yeah, okay so you can get evercoat from eastwood.com if im not mistaken....correct????

and where do you get nason acid etch primer??? i know the shop my car is going to uses dupont paint so its prob the best choice....


and i should prob not even put sandable primer over the acid etching stuff....just let the body shop take it from there right???




haha...i dont think i have to worry about protection from moisture...my car is in the garage....i left the bare fender outside last night on accident and went back out the next moring and not even a hint of surface rust.....i love california.

well the sandable primer is need to topcoat the acid etch the nason i beileve is 30 minutes after the etch lay down the sandable is the car going to be ready for4 the shop as in just mask then spray it? or are they gonna finish all the body work?

Shifty101Easy

finish all the body work....im bringing the car to bare metal to save costs......theres literally like 9 coats of of primers/paints in a lot of places on the car......

so im just wondering how to go about it....also, i dont have a paint gun setup, its going to be done using rattle cans....

what do you think of the evercoat lightweight filler??? it seems to accomplish the same thing....one of my friends has a gallon he said i could have....should i go for the z grip or use this stuff....?

Shifty101Easy

nevermind, just ordered a gallon of evercoat z grip filler and some evercoat acid etch primer cans.... goferauto.com best prices i could find.

Ive never used evercoat body filler but I can tell you there is a huge difference between
a qaulity body filler and Bondo brand. Ive been using Eurovoss and which is similar to the
Rage body fillers and It sands better and less clogging of the paper than Bondo brand. Just
an FYI On the last coat of filler I mix a little fiberglass resin which makes the filler more creamy
and have less pinholes.

Shifty101Easy

very interesting......what type of fiberglass resin?

rmodel65

dont do that it could react if ur worried about pinhole use icing its a runny type of bodyfiller i like to u.s.c. icing
