Body work tips

I did some body work and surprising it turned out pretty good but i need some advice. I stripped body down to bare metal and used rage extreme for filler then rage easy sand for a skim coat. I cleaned oil off with acetone then used por metal ready to etch the metal. I primed with Utech 2K primer. Ok now I see a few small spots I need to fix but my question is can I scuf primer and fix with the easy sand or do I have to take primer back down to filler to apply the filler again?

what did you use for filler. from what i have read, and done on my car was evercoat rage filler, and y2k primer. when i had touch up to do i used bondo as a spot glaze ontop. my other recomendation is put a couple coats of primer on. and use a long board to sand. it is a must if you want the body to be straight.

Re: Body work tips

I'm not familiar with the rage easy sand (unless it's evercoat easy sand)or the primer you used but I believe if both products are catalysed and you just need a light skim coat you can put it over the primer. If it's bad enough that you need to start with the rage extreme again sand the primer off and start over.
