I've used the Evercoat Metal-to-Metal. It works pretty good. It's great for area's like patch welds. Then I use regular filler over it to smooth things out as it is far easier to sand and shape. If you just have a couple of small imperfections then you really don't need it. If you have alot of areas that are beat metal and are worried about water exposure then it's a good way to go. The Evercoat stuff is more water resistent(sp) ,and more durable in thin layers. Here is a shot of some I used on my 81 T/A. What the pic's don't show is that I pulled the dents out with a stud puller. You want filler as thin as possible. Man that one had alot of hours in it to get it right.

This is the Metal-to-Metal
I think he means something like "All-Metal" Which is a Fantastic product. Yes, It is kinda expensive, but works great, especially if you are restoring.
Be careful though, The stuff is ROCKHARD. try to shape it before it fully cures or use a file.
