nobumps Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 So have started to do many hours of block sanding, anyways i have a couple low spots here and there, all in all pretty happy but was wondering what the best way to repair the areas is? They are very small say the size of a 10c coin and very shallow, should i just skim bog them then spot prime, or spray putty or just spray a couply more coats of hi fill over the areas??

cute wee gem Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 if they're only a mm or two just fill prime it and re-block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKAZ Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 That red spot filler that comes in a tube. I got some if you dont wanna buy a whole tube........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZedHed Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 bro,dont use that red 3M shit,it srinks back real slow and you get divits in your paintwork where you have used it. Id just spray it dry with primer or a few coats of spray putty. Prepwork makes the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 The red stuff is called knifing compound and it shrinks like a mother fucker. It is only anygood for a pinhole in bog/primer Your low spots will need to be ground back and bogged very well. I can recommend 3M Flowable Putty (?) for very shallow work. It is a delight to use. I also like Sikkens Spraybog. If you can't get that there is a product called Reface that comes a distant second to the Sikken stuff. You will need a spraygun with a 2.5mm fluid tip for either. You will then need mega coats of primer to help prevent shrikange - but shrinkbacks can take up to a year to show up so they are hard to prevent (I am probably doing something wrong).

Unclejake Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 ^ Thanks Nobumps - the trick to getting a car perfectly straight is time. It costs fuck all. The trick to stopping shrinkbacks is not one I know. I have failed in that area a couple of times but I am very VERY keen on bare metalling everything on an old car. The results are reflected (pun again) in the effort spent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By unclejake, shot with E5400 at 2008-07-01 the only thing that stops shrinkage is light coats of primer/paint,and not sanding it back/cutting in a big fuckin hurry. The longer between you painting it and cutting it the better. Shrinkage comes about cause the medium hasnt dried peoperly. Ive been in the biz for 20+yrs,and thats what ive found through trial and error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
