Sprayable Body Filler

[Duesey2]

Gordz32, that is a lot of material to pile onto bare metal. Not to mention plenty of solvent evaporation. I guess I can't see as to what needs that kind of fill. Oh, and be careful with that vette, less is more with fiberglass. C3's are better than the early cars but they still can soak up material like a sponge. Absolutely no reason to use any kinds of spray poly on a c3. Vette bond for the seams and a couple rounds of epoxy work great on vettes. I guess when I do a car I want it to look the same in 20 years but some of the procedures I see around here are suspect to redo in 5years. I'm not trying to insult anyone, just my opinion from experience.

I'll agree withe the bond but epoxy no way! The solvents used to spray go directly into glass? no gel coat? just like k36 or similar ...looks good till it gets out in the sun - then watchout! sandscratchs , bonding seams repairs ...they all come back.

Poly or gel/combo only way to go!

I have my bull**** flag at full mass......lets see some pics. I got money that says

A: There is more than 1/16 of filler/product on your car
B: Its not straight
C: all of the above

You cant come into the body section of a Forum and claim you dont use more than 1/16 of filler on a car? Are you building plastic models? lets see some pictures

Im going with C

Keep in mind that most of that primer gets sanded off, so there really isn't that much material. Our Cars are straight and they shine way better than most. They r straight b/c we block the crap outta them b4 paint. Bottom line is our customers are happy and usually say, the cars turns out to nice! Feel free to stop by the shop, and talk with our customers about how happy they r with our work.

If you can find a customer that would like his car metal finished, and agrees to pay the ridiculous amount of hours it would take to do that good luck and more power to ya. As for right now. I'd really love to see a car that you've done and see JUST HOW STRAIGHT IT IS!!!

Lets try and stay on topic and answer the guys question about spray able body filler. You've spoke ur peace and I suggest you leave it at.
