Spencer Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Hammer and shrinking first if you can. Then bog it up, then high build only for blocking to make it super slick not to fix problems. Bog is pretty fancy these days and isn’t the devil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Go watch old hotrod garage, Boyd had some high class paint guys in there at different points in time and they skim bog whole show cars to get them perfect lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 i aim for a finger nails thickness. its for finishing not for shaping but needs must tbh the primer filler currently in paint cabinet is carmaster cp-6120 high build, and primer filler carmaster cp-8550 both were much of a muchness tbh, both sand well and cover fast. I wet sprayed the base over the 8550 and had good results. over durepox or existing paint, and covered with protec base and clear paint hasnt fallen off any of the cars yet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Does bog actually take a few days to cure properly? I fill a ding, block sand it flat, but come back a few days later and i swear its shrunk down into the depression Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 if its very thick if you are not using enough hardener if its very cold some bogs have noticeable shrinkback tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mid winter, but northland mid winter, so it's note what I'd call 'very cold'... I'm always willing to blame the product so maybe it's my Repco bog. If shrinkback is a thing, do you think I'm best to just let it mature for a few days before smithing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Yeah never buy any body work gear from the auto chain stores, they just sell you crap and don't give a fuck. Go see you local auto paint shop get something like evercoat (lite-weight or rage) its the shit. With the good stuff you should get basically zero shrinking, sands like a dream and no pin holes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bling Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Not surprised with how the Mericans' tend to bog a whole car before paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I need a bit more epoxy primer, so figured I could get extra and do the underside guards, and areas that aren't seen. Is it legit to just slap a couple coats on and leave as is? Really don't see the point of top coating something never seen if a decent coating of epoxy will be fine.

87creepin Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 From what I've used: 3M gold? = expensive, okay ish, not really my favourite to use as it's super runny. Nice to sand though and you generally won't need spot putty to fill holes etc. Used at fancy pants work Evercoat blue tin = good stuff, bit light, nice to sand, not as runny as 3m, what we used in course. Roberlo maxi fill = heavier filler, bit different to get used to as doesn't sand as nice and may need to go over with spot putty if high build primer doesn't fill holes etc, bit harder to feather edge, but an experienced panelbeater I knew loved it for bigger repairs and it was cos it didn't shrink much and was nice to use with the larger spreaders. Repco = I used it on my sills of my subaru that were smashed in. Sucked, always had giant holes. Good thing I used Underseal which filled it easily. Ain't fell off yet and I used amounts that would probably get me fired if I did it in industry lol Septone metal fibreglass reinforced = okay ish, hard to work like with most of this type of bog, but if you do it right can run magnets etc over the finished product and will be harder to detect bog due to metal filaments in it I'm in my 2nd year of being in the panel/paint industry so my opinion may not count for much 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a decent thread on here on the topic? Most interested in sanding (disk grinding with paint removal attachments) and media blasting. Would I be right to say that using a DA sander with say 40g or 80g and an interface pad for curved areas be safer than using abrasive wheels? I mean less chance of digging ugly divots in the paint? Believe it or not my dick face tutor advised us to grind the paint off with a grinding disc lol. At work we use DA sanders with 120/80g for the more difficult jobs.

Paid good $ for a craftsman panel beater. Once the insert was tigged in it went to paint. The painter only used high build primer, no filler at all. Then a metal flake paint so it had to be spot on. Makes me lol watching the yankee hot rod shows. Fabrication is finished now it's time for body work, out comes a big drum of bog. Lol. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The dream is you do metal repairs and go straight to primer and done, not many of us have those kind of skills 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's no way I have those skills, but that's the level of workmanship I wanted on this car. Took me quite a while to find the right guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Are you supposed to do any further prep between priming and topcoat? I hear it should be wet sanded but I hear it needs to be scuffed but I hear to get a topcoat on before the primer is even dried.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 You can do either. There's a time period that you can do wet on wet, outside of that you need to scuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
