What Is A good Body Filler (not bondo)
Sunday, March 12, 2006 1:43 PM
So I have some rather large dents in my door, and there is no way to pop them back out, so its time to use body filler. What is the best body filler I can use. What prep do i need to do (i was thinkign sanding down the area wiht 150 sandpaper). I was looking at this stuff but wanted your jbo opinion before i order it to se if it is crap or if there is better stuff out there
ANSI
Thanks again!

Anything can be popped out, you just need to hit it from behind with a hammer or body work hammers. If you need body filler for anything thicker than a couple sheets of paper, then you have more work to do on it before filler goes on.

there is no such word as "it can`t be fixed" in body work, if the door is that bad off get a new skin

some of the @!#$ i have fixed over the years would make your jaw drop and say why would that be fixed why??? becasue it can

second it sounds to me that you have no clue about body work so why don`t ya leave it alone before you do more damage and it will cost you ALLOT more money to have the panle fixed professionaly sorry but it`s true

thrid i like the evercoat filler the evercoat glaze, the 3m fiberglass i also like the smc filler

fourth again i can`t not give you a "how to" on pulling dents it just don`t happen online


can i haz bondo

first id take it to a PDR (paint less dent removal) place and ask them what they think and the cost. its pretty reasonable compared to the cost of fill/paint. i had 2 door dings and a golf ball dent removed from the 1/4 panel and it only cost me $120 CDN. as long as theres no paint damage they can push out almost anything.

The "Ding King" dent remover actually works pretty good. A hammer should be able to pop out most dents from behind. Otherwise you could drill a hole, and use a dent plier to pop the skin back. Then use alittle pox or filler to fill in the drill hole. Then paint over the area (should be able to do it with touch-up paint).

Youre kidding right?

Youd have to prob repaint the whole door and blend into the 1/4 panel and fender to get it to match. With bc/cc not some @!#$ing spraycan touch up paint.

can you post a pic of the door and a close up of the damage? that would help everyone get a better idea of the best way to repair it.
