Love this video, cant wait for the whole series. Also wish i knew this 2 weeks ago before i bogged up dents on my motorcycle tank. Thanks for the info Dave.

[@roleypoley8]

Have just been starting out as a car detailer. My apprenticeship on scratch repair and spray painting has been through you. Thank you 🙏

[@rocklover7437]

Used UPol D alloy powder filler for 20 plus years and more recently combined it with Dolphin Glaze .I even mix them together to get a happy medium . I always use a onion board so the resin isn't pulled from the filler like cardboard does .

[@legioner9]

You are doing a great job, Dave. Missed you.

[@wobblysauce]

Simple to the point no fluff.

[@glennstocker487]

Thank you Dave as per usual great simple straight forward useful info, thank you, Looking forward to your next episode on primers, am hoping you can give some direction on best type of primers to use on prep'd aluminium body pannels Cheers Glenn.

[@justinwright6611]

The finer fillers are absolutely fantastic in my experience. Well worth extra cost for the ease of use and superior final finish.

[@rickthomas6871]

Amazing examples of when and what products are best utilized for three very common applications. I now feel empowered to take on my project where I didn't before watching and replaying this KZbin. Ty again for the instructional video! 240G!

[@mr-toyota]

[@lisihoxha7388]

Brother wellcome back we missed you ....remember people loves you and you was the FIRST youtuber when I ASK YOU ...you came back with the good answers ... I asked you wich sand grip to you efter prime hahhaha many years ago.... thnx a million times again

[@davewolf3115]

Nice info sir! Thanks for sharing. I wonder why no epoxy primer was applied on the sanded bare metal before body-filling the 1k?

[@1down5up78]

Hey, good to have you back.

[@witchcraftauto]

This is awsome! One thing to note is, this takes a lot of time and patience so be prepared for that.

[@ForestWoodworks]

Hammering dents into the practice panels. I always wondered what was happening in the supermarket parking lot. This video was great for someone like me with zero experience. Thanks a bunch!

[@DrkKnyght1981]

I just recently did some body filler work on my tailgate. I had some trouble with 3 different attempts on dent filling and then i used filler thinner in the mix and it only took 1 attempt to get great results.

[@Kapil-Patel]

Welcome back Dave 👍🏽

[@UnvarnishedTarnished]

Man I missed this channel! Welcome back!

[@volvogt21]

Dave's baaaa-aaaaack! Love your work

[@effkay84]

welcome back

[@sunnyrana4248]

Brilliant video bro. Much appreciated

[@CondorrK]

Spot on wit almost everything i ran through in the video! Only thing id say is dont use a dollop and run a line of hardener through it. Ive messed up so many batches doing my engine bay it drove me nuts 😂 so i measure by weight, 2% is a 50:1 ratio and really isnt much from what id expected when i started

[@shaniranikauboj]

Nice videos! Suggestion. Do video with rusty panels. How to treat rust and prevent spreading.

[@jovialpunch]

Looks like you've been body filling and bulking up a bit, big Dave 💪👍 Must be all that hand punching and describing things you do 😉

[@shomsgarage9549]

Brilliant! thank you so much for the informative video

[@ceferinotan6184]

the kind of tutorial i have been looking for!

[@BossPainter]

THIS GON BE A FIREEEEE SERIES!!!!!!!!

[@btbd2785]

Love your videos, Dave. I've been in the USA, and the products you show are obviously products that are available in Australia. Can you recommend products that, if you're familiar and are equivalent to the products here in the USA. Thank you!

[@hookedupfishinghardhitta]

Have not heard back from you on your kayak. I'm working Jerry's kayak today so get with me to see when you can come by with yours. Thanks

[@4WheelBuilds]

Love the shopping trolley in the background :)

[@husky1232]

You make a good teacher great job

[@RacingPepe]

Thanks so much for this video. I'm working on an old moped and the paint layers I applied just didn't look right to me. Going to remove it all with a solvent and start with primer / filler first. And definitely take my time too.

[@zacj63]

Thanks mate very helpful video 👍👍

[@jamesharrington9826]

Very informative n always looking to improve my skills n knowledge. Thanks !

[@customspraymods]

Thank you mate appreciate it. 👍👍

[@86bushi]

Thanks, very educational!

[@medievilassassin]

Great video man. I would like to see a video regarding painting and touching up plastic bumpers and such. As the whole adhesion promoter and types of paint confuse me. So do you only use adhesion promoter on bare plastic and not on already painted plastic 🤔

[@4WheelBuilds]

Agree Jason, would be awesome to get a stright up vid on plastic part spraying.

[@austinbradley3411]

Thanks for this great video.

[@0ADVISOR0]

Aweeeeeesome, nice video, great technique. The only one hurting my ears is the static noise filler between cuts =D

[@maamounelwazzy9195]

finally a new vidio love your vidios btw

[@deanmarshall9751]

So informative👍

[@Snip59]

A1 indeed big help can you use on Timber at all

[@kevinlewis8572]

What would you use for fiberglass panels like on a Corvette? And how would repair the panel? (Cracks, holes, or total panel replacement)

[@zxspectum]

Question around Stopper. I have never had much luck with it. I know its for very small pin holes or fine scratches, but when I sand it, it always just pulls away. Applied either to body filler or bare metal scratch. What grade of grit should I be using, wet and dry? Also I leave it drying time, even if I leave it 24 it still just crumbles away after a few passes with sand paper.

[@RC.56]

Is it best to use two separate guns for primer and base/clear, or best to separate guns for base and clear. I only have two guns, both are the same. What size tips for each product? Regarding plastic bumper repair, sand it-body filler-primer- base… Does it need adhesion promoter? Will sealer worth like primer? I purchased paint, also purchased sealer, but don’t remember why

[@btbd2785]

I have a few questions for you. In the case if adding filler over primer, you can't use self etching correct so incase it's bare metal. So epoxy primerbis best? My other question is after adding primer, I was told before you add the top coat, i.e paint. Then you should always use a primer filler/sealer? Is this correct Dave? Thank you

[@jesussantibanez6711]

good job good video 👍👍👍 he already missed the videos

[@slippo89]

Hi good video wondering when part 3 will be out

[@chandiaz7694]

Excellent

[@TheRoadTaken]

Odd question. I am going to refinish my shower with this resin material (ekopel 2k). In a couple of sections, the gap is large (1/4") and the vendor recommended using bondo to fill in the gaps. From your video, it sounds like the fine filler may be all i need to fill in the voids, sand, and then pour the resin over the gaps. Apparently the resin bonds well with bondo. My question to you is could I use the fine filler for voids smaller than 1/4"?

[@Cherfield-D-Blessedman]

Hi Dave, I just recently bought all my materials for painting my Jag 1951. My question is for bare metal project, do I have to apply first itch primer, before applying body filler for some damage area?

[@abisaigutierrez6246]

No you don’t do body filler over self etch, I recommend you to ask for the technical data sheet for every paint or product you use , I think it may depend on body filler as well I was taught to use it on bare metal

[@Mxplorer85]

Fantastic! So helpfull. Turned me, a complete noob into a novice atleast :D

[@georgetene9562]

Very informative

[@MorindaSilly-rn9dl]

Hello good job I like it

[@tomf4547]

I've got a concave styling line in my panel, I've welded and filled a hole across it. Can I get some sort of flexi rubbing block to fit the concave profile?

[@andyb7754]

Like the videos you make, very informative. Hast that you keep touching the panels with bare hands. Sanding and touching with bare hands grinds hand oils into it. Even using wax and grease remover I wouldn't recommend touching the panel with out gloves on. Look at the first bare panel as your starting to prime. You can see what looks like a thumb print on the right side which you cover with primer. Don't get me wrong, your videos are very good just need a bit of refinement. Thanks for the videos you make.

[@jonwilson6077]

What type of rag do you use when wiping with wax and grease remover? Just a soft cotton rag?

[@RC.56]

I bought Evercoat FIB-421 -Easy Sand. What is it good for? Need to repair rear quarter panel on 2015 4Runner. So the paint is cracked and some idiot put a gob of touch up paint on the 5inch crack. It’s also dented in, kind of a large area. Do I need to sand to bare metal? Can I just scuff and put what I have on? Do I need primer or can I use the sealer, base and clear, since I have it for other parts, hood and fenders.

[@edwinbarahona4486]

Thank you

[@stuartsmith5274]

Hi I want to alta my bumper, I know I need spray foam, fiber glass then filler, but not sure what one, much appreciated

[@j.d7387]

Hi, can plastic can be used by the body? It's like 5mm to be filled on a driving door. Please let me know

[@kennethugochukwu-cv5fi]

Can I get a tutorial video on the production of cream hardener?

[@wolfoffroad]

For those playing at home with bare metal stripped panels, 2K Epoxy isnt an option for a home garage, any recommendation before applying filler?

[@paullang1961]

yes it is

[@AsaSpadeSS]

How is it not an option... makes no sense.

[@Supanova70]

So many debates over this. Just got off the phone with Tamco they said no filler on bare metal creates heat then condensation on metal and to put over there DTM high build 5310. I do not need epoxy if car is inside all the time it will save you a lot of money just block and top coat your done and still have epoxy properties in the DTM.

[@Pallidus_Rider]

I also use automotive body fillers to repair non-structural damage in wood (wood root, trim, etc). 🤫

[@brianf8621]

How do you tell a water based paint. I have been told that is what’s on my Subaru. What is the type of filter applicators are you using?

[@customspraymods]

Most of the time it’s a water based basecoat only and a solvent based clear coat. Either way you can use anything on top. I use plastic sometimes metal applicators.

[@btbd2785]

Can you just use a Glazing and spotting puddy instead of asking in more filler?

[@stevo78213]

Can you put fine filler for small dents on top of hard filler that's for bigger dents?

[@terrythomas790]

Im no pro bodyman, but I do know that bigger dents should be hammer and dollied first, You want the least amount of filler as possible, always!

[@sdutoit10]

On the 1k you removed to bare metal. Why did you not prime it before putting down body putty?

[@agnbmotorsportsallgasnobra9470]

can I use any of these products to repair CFRP. i have a bmw i8 body and the driver side a-pillar has been hit. can this stuff repair it ?

[@nomchenikoloski7729]

❤❤😊

[@duster71]

If you've got deep dents hammer and dolly it or grind down the paint and use a stud gun and pull the dents out.

[@iandraper3051]

Deep dent filler would only be used by Dodgy Brothers Repairs, wouldn't it? Best to do some panel work to lessen the depth as much as possible and reduce the amount of filler required.

[@rocklover7437]

I hope Bad Chad channel is watching and noted the use of epoxy primer and blocks lol

[@P8FPV]

😁🤙

[@pittydbest5967]

[@Good-Enuff-Garage]

can you imagine 3" of bondo !!!!

[@melgozakoki85]

I thought dents were always pulled out, then work on it

[@MrBill2U]

Thanks man , I'm a dumb cnt.😬

[@RubenMessiah]

Wjy didnt yu give the names of the fillers comon man

[@ChrisBusy]

Really? Filling dents 2-3" deep? What happened to metal working?? Am I missing something?

[@bradmaas6875]

Kept waiting to hear April Fools or just kidding. Body work where you leave behind +1" dents?

[@BrittM1028]

Any bodywork folks looking for work in Los Angeles? :)

[@nigelbeaumont1109]

That’s good to know you can use Fiberglass reinforced filler to fill 1 to 4 inch dents!!!! Forget the Hammer and Dolly or Dent puller… just pile on the Filler. WTF!

[@critixair1257]

Seems like to much work my car doesn’t look great want to wrap it but want to fill in a small rust spot and a fairly large dent on trunk as well as a few pin hole dents but my car isn’t worth that much trouble opinions it’s an 09 fusion runs good but has like 130k just wanted to make it look good again for 200 or 300 bucks

[@Supanova70]

Add some honey to any of these proiducts now you have premium filler.

[@taimeo7984]

Vẫn còn móp

[@toodjackson4438]

Why would anyone ever try to fill any 1/2 inches let alone a inch or more

[@Ether0]

Great vid, but… who da fuk uses 3” deep filler… that people shouldn’t do any repairs…

[@csmith5876]

He breathed in too much paint i think

[@adriansecker3124]

Good video but annoying crap music is unnecessary sorry just my opinion

[@dawidmosio2084]

Way too much work you can skip literally half the steps and get 90% of the quality. From a profitable business perspective- this ain’t it chanp
