How To Put BONDO/Body Filler On A Primer Surface - DIY LIVE!
#diy #restoration #car
This is the only way to apply bondo to a primer surface of any kind. You have to prep it right using a very coarse grit sand paper so the bondo or body filler such as polyester finish putty will adhere and stick to the damaged area. Once the bondo is dried you can continue to hand sand using blocks of your choice and repeating your process till the dent is fixed for good. Restoring old cars and trucks is a big job and takes time!

Big panels usually go quick it's all the little parts and details that kill the clock and put a beating on your joints, knees, hands and fingers. But there's only one way to get it done.. Appreciate all the info and knowledge you give..👍

[@mtrevino01]

This is probably one of my favorite channels. I love that you take time and share your f'n knowledge man! Always kickn ass, ive nearly quit on my project but your videos keep me jammin. Thanks man!!

[@nickle549]

Thanks Pete, I've been watching for probably 10 years and finally get to restore my C-10

[@jaisonbadillo5139]

Thank you Pete and Minnie! God bless you guys!!

[@randywl8925]

I like your attitude. Do what works for you. 👍 Yea, of course I gave you a thumbs up. I'm not a body guy, but I like cars and I like learning.

[@boxer71c55]

And that's just another reason you are legendary! I don't believe in those channels that have a patreon! That is nothing but E-begging.

[@nogarage4473]

This has become invaluable. I just got my a flip that will require that I fill in just a few spots of hail damage. Now I have an idea of how to do that. Many Thanks Pete.

[@Izzy323x]

Thanks Pete, love all the lessons, I have been getting to it myself now that I retired out the army. I have a rusty 77 924 that is kicking my butt, car was left out in the Texas heat for over 10 years. Trying to keep it all original, but it will need some patch panel work on both QPs, both floor boards and on the roof panel near the rear glass. Not dishing out money for new parts, minus mechanical and weather strips. I'm fairly comfortable with body work, I just hate how much different brands are out there selling paint, and how expensive things like ppg have gotten.

[@deankay4434]

DK, Omaha. Glad you caught you hood defects! The best part is the accidentally finding then going through the entire process of beginning to end. I did learn. Thank you for that. DK

I love……Don’t be a couch potato……Get the bondo on the panel ! It’s funny how sometimes you don’t feel it, till you see it……then it’s like holy cow, feels like you could park a vw in the dip. I’ve never used honey,but, i like how it seems to make the bondo flow. Love watching and learning from your videos Pete.

This is the first time I've seen your video it really kicks ass. Making sure we could see your work. At a very young age I watched dad do body work with lead. This video is helpful showing how and what to use for the job today. I also like your choice of words you use. About other people's lame comments. If I ever have to stand in front of a judge, I'll need you to get our point across 😅. I'll be watching more of vids.

I just got a hood today and it has a silver dollar sized high spot where theres a glob of goo on top of the bracing. Should i cut the goo out and tap the spot down or tap it with the goo in to provide backing so it might not buckle it? Or should i tap it at all?

I’m a crafter , but use bodywork techniques,I was curious if you could tell me the filler you use at 15$ a gallon .. I tried zooming in I couldn’t get the label ……keep up the great honest videos , they are very informative

[@riffraffchoppers]

What kind of block Would you use to do a really rounded panel like a Harley tank ?

[@warningsystemsofohio1880]

I am redoing my siren housing and I sanded too far down to the base coat around the other newer paint and I'm struggling with a noticeable divet from sanding the paint would it be possible to just fill it in with primer or would I have to use this body filler

[@terryleet3782]

What brand of blocks do you use?

[@apiratetew8476]

How did i miss this

[@apiratetew8476]

Assuming you’re using sticky paper, where do you find them to fit the lengths of your long blocks

[@apiratetew8476]

Never mind, i saw your mentioning a coming video…. I’ll see it when it’s out

[@riffraffchoppers]

Man I sprayed a Harley gas tank and fender 6 times!! Somewhere a king every spray at some point the paint reacted to something and had to start over. Finally just took it To bare metal. If I do body work on high build do I need to spray primer over the body filler before I seal it?

[@MrElPoderozo1]

Hi Pete! I was wondering if the quality of the Bondo would be the reason why the work already done changed? Meaning that the condo would shrink or change to different temperature. What do you think?

[@randy1ization]

do u ever use 3M glacier compound?

[@henryramirez1166]

Omg I like his attitude 😅 funny soo funny

[@Volkswagenplanet]

Hey Pete, Is using bodo and body filler like doing joint compound on drywall. It looks the same, but not sure about the drying. Looks like your body filler turns a certain color like joint compound does. I've done hundreds of hours of drywall work. Never done bodywork. I love the corvette series you did a little while back. I bought a C4 ( next bodystyle) corvette a few months ago. 1988 convertible. Thank you again My Friend Pete. Wish you and Minni a great day. Its crazy how much you have spent on the Baja. Catch you om the next video.

[@randy1ization]

how do you guide coat if you use BLACK primer. do you use white spray paint?

[@Jakeeddie32]

Can you share where you're getting a gallon of filler for $14? Looks like approximately $135 combined for a gallon and the plastic honey from what im seeing.

[@tonyrandazzoe8210]

Hey Pete ! Teddy

[@TheAnonymous1one]

You had another video that said to put bondo only on raw metal and not on top of primer. Im curious why not sand down to metal in the areas with the dents before applying the bondo? Thanks!

[@aidenog7380]

Do u have the answer for this question yet in wondering the same thing

[@TheAnonymous1one]

@@aidenog7380 it must depend on manufacturer. SPI says to epoxy prime over the prepped bare metal to seal it. Then put the fillers on top of that.

[@timbrown2637]

When you sand bondo it always clogs the paper until you break through the top layer of fresh bonds. Is there any way around this?

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Right before it sets up' use an old sheet of 80 grit and scratch it up.

[@tnasituning8173]

Really like watching the OG body guys suck as yourself with Great tips on how to save money and do things properly... I had a 1 on 1 teacher train me and i learned so much! But I never actually got into the flexible primers and additives to primers/sealers, base, and clears Is this epoxy primer or urethane primer? And wouldn't you wanna sand over the putty with a 120 or 150 Grit after initially breaking it down with an 80/100 grit... Then finish off with a 180~220 Grit before re-priming the hood, so that way the scratches dont reappear with shrinkage over time... Im assuming you do go over with a finer grit in its finishing stage before re-priming or use a good primer that has virtually no shrinkage... The Clausen All-U-Need polyester Primer alot recommend over body filler before using a final Urethane Primer... But just would like to know what Polyester and urethane Primers you use... And one other question, what is out there for flexible Primer Sealers out of a can fir Plastic Bumpers and that sorts... I use the Seymour PBE Flexible Primer or SEM Flexible Primer Surfacer, but im trying to find a sealer out of a can that is good for Flexible plastics... Any recommendations on Flexible Primer Sealers?
