Shug Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I used dinitrol 6030 stuff. Not the cheapest but seems a lot better than some other stuff I've tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Hi, There's all sorts of fillers available these days, to me, the most important thing is ease of application, followed by ease of sanding, from my recent experience, 'U-Pol Easy-Lite Filler' is great, it's really easy to apply, you can be very accurate and avoid hours of sanding, I use that for all the major imperfections, then to finish off with I can recommend 'Bodyline Soft Sand Polyester Stopper' The U-Pol you can get most anywhere, I think Halfords sell it? The Bodyline stopper can only be bought through Brown Brothers as far as I know? If you use these in conjunction with a good primer filler, I use U-Pol P.88. the results can be amazing with the minimum amount of effort!! Cheers, Alf.

huw Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 ok, sorry. Thanks for the tips. Would it be easier to do the sanding with an air orbital sander or a air palm sander? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorblue5 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Just do it by hand, best results. I also use "easy one" as base then "top stop" and to finish "dolphin glaze" The results can be seen on my project page, E36 GRN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monzta Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I use a polyester filler with a hardener (2 component) that can be bought pretty much everywhere. The current product i am using dry up pretty fast, and is easy to grind in hand. Gets a very smooth surface. Don´t use epoxy based products, they tend to be hard to grind, and can also take a while to dry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
