Auto DIY Tips- Body and Paint - (How To Use Body Filler) *BONDO*

http://CollisionBlast.com/AmazonBooks - Body and Paint tips - (How To Use Body Filler) - In this DIY How-to video I am doing a collision repair demonstration of (how to apply body filler) to a small repair area or dent. Many people wonder what the difference is between body filler and bondo are. However, there is no difference. Bondo is just a brand. Body filler just became the jargon of body shop talk in the industry as bondo. After attending WyoTech in the late 80's and years of experience as a technician, manager, estimator, and educator, I would like to share more about collision repair training and auto paint training with you. http://CollisionBlast.com

you know, I watched your video a while back, then actually took some classes in college which went smoothly for me, thanks. It sure is nice to reflect back on a video to catch the little details that may be overlooked. For example, multi coat application is far better than one thick coat. I learned the hard way as I was put on a "Bondo" job. Tried to say filler they were like we only use bondo and walked away. They had evercoat. go figure.

@invisible634 I am glad you find these videos useful. I also agree, it is good to refresh often, as we all learn more. Learning never stops...Thanks for watching!

I would go ahead and sand them out. If you hit bare plastic, remember to spray plastic adhesion promoter before applying primer. At the store you buy your products from, ask them about it. Every paint brand is a little different.

what should i do if my dent is deeper than a quarter of an inch?

[ButlerCollision]

@wyatt3flip I would try to get it within 1/4 of an inch. However, if you can't, you don't want to overwork the metal. You may consider applying the first coat with fiberglass filler that comes in a can.

@TheColt11 What the fuck is your problem? I found this helpful. If you didn't like it, just dislike the thing and move on. Dont be an asshole.

@MrZdvy Body filler is designed to be applied on bare steel. I have seen what you are talking about too. This is probably due to the filler being too thick, the metal started rusting before the filler was applied, or improperly mixed filler. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have other questions.

[MrZdvy]

Why would you apply filler directly to bare metal? I always thought the metal underneath the filler is going to rust causing the filler to crack and ruin the paint.

I've seen a lot of older repairs on cars that had cracked filler/paint so something went wrong.

@alpinelover7170 No, you do not want to apply etch primer before the filler. You can apply body filler straight to the bare metal. The only primer that body filler can be applied over is epoxy primer. I have always just applied it to bare metal.
