as much as i hate the stuff.....its inevitable that some will need to be used on the project I'm working on.

It's been a while since I've used the stuff, and I was wondering what type i should use. I've heard a few different kinds floating around, but what do you guys use??


we're a ways out, but the truck is closer to prep than the camaro is, maybe next weekend I might prep/spray the truck, so some feedback would be great!

thanks

I like Evercoat brand filler. I've used various types of their fillers and fiberglass resins on several projects including my brother's open-wheeled circle track car and have yet to be disappointed.

Evercoat is what we have had at every shop Ive worked at. Keep in mind the more expensive stuff usually sands better. Get some "poly" coat to use on your "pinhole/final coat". I like Crest Skim Coat. True "bondo" it is inevitable..especially anytime you got weld a new panel on. "filler" is not a big deal if used properly..like not using it on super huge dents that werent even pulled.

Evercoat Rage is ok for a production shop where cost is a factor. But for your own car spend the extra money and buy the Evercoat Rage Extreme. It is easier to spread, and MUCH easier to sand versus the std. Rage. Cost is just under 50 bucks a can.
