FILLER

[busdiver]

Righto new arches-steps / front floors / lower front panel and chassis fixed so that's the front end pretty much welded up. Now out with the filler and the waxoyl

2 questions.

1 waxoyl first before filling and finishing ???

2 what filler to use, your preferences ???

thankyou

Waxoyl last, after it's all repaired primed sealered etc.
I use easy 1 by upol and then mipa multi star stopper then 2k high build primer, before paint.

Wax oil very very last job it can make the paint react badly :?

[busdiver]

hi nick yep cracking on miss having the old girl out and about

 

[busdiver]

so if it makes the paint react badly if i do it very last job would that not hurt the paint job or do you mean it does'nt make a good "undercoat" for the paint to adhere to, need to get this right after all my hard work :?

Waxoyl is DEFINITELY NOT an undercoat.
Filler, primer, paint then waxoyl.

Have a look through some resto threads, see how other people do it!??
