I was thinken .. for instance lets use the gauge cluster trim peice that sometimes people just paint..

I'm wondering what it would look like if we took body filler, put a nice coat over the trim peice.. created a new surface using the filler. then primered it .. shot ur base coat. then clear.. on other peices that are smaller like where the light pull out on/off thing is for the lights.. "also where my security light and fan switch are" create something other then flat.. something that glides .. like shape the filler as u go... only thing is, what about them star screws.. cant get rid of them i dont think.. anyone else do this or think about it?

 

body filler should only be used on the body imho.

quick question here, why do you have a 4 inch cowl on a little v6er?

 

u can use body filler on plastics with no problem also can't you... the 4 inch cowl is for my bolt on blower .. it barely clears right now

 

yeah it will work on plastics, unless it doesn't like sticking. i wouldn't see a problem.

bolt on blower huh? sounds sweet have any pics?

 

lol it was only a joke

 

whats that ps work? why is the scoop white and every other scale in the pic grey.


sounds like

jeff

 

has anyone ever done this with body filler? i think it should work

 

why dont you use fiberglass?

 

fiberglass for the small stuff? and plus fiber glass is real messy i dunno i dont like messen with it unless its for somthing big

 

I sanded down my gauge cluster smooth and then Joe primed, I sanded, he then painted it. Never needed filler on it. Looks way better smoothed and painted then not and painted. I try not to use filler unless absolutely neccesary...its ment to fix slight flaws to fill minor imperfections. Not smooth a textured piece.

To use filler...You will still have to sand it to get the filler to stick. I guess you could sand... primer...apply filler sand till smooth, then paint. Just one more thing that could crack the paint, if there is not good adhesion. Might take less time...
Why not!

Pics of how mine turned out.... granted its a bird...there are also no screws on the surface to deal with either...
