Browning Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Was looking at Metal 2 Metal but that shit is expensive. I don't really have much experience in body work but I'll manage just fine. What do you guys use, and/or suggest for a beginner? Also, why you're here, will this make a good hammer & dolly set? http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Professional-7-Piece-Hammer-Dolly/dp/B000IAWLBS/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1236817457&sr=8-1 edit-What's the difference between regular fillers and those labeled as lightweight? Which should be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Evercoat makes a good light weight filler. Dont slam it on there, you'll get frustrated fast. Put thin layers on and work them 1 at a time. Thats a good starter set. Get it. I dont see any thin picks in it but it will get the majority of work done.

Mopar Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Thats the same body hammer/dolly set I started with. I still use it, had to buy a couple specialty hammers to complete the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS69 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 +1 for Evercoat for the thin glaze. Believe it or not, I used NAPA fiberglass filler for the bigger areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Oh yea, what's a thin pick Just exaclty what its says. The back side of the hammer goes down to a real thin "pick" style end. Makes getting into tight corners of fenders really easy. Not necessary, but comes in handy 1 out of 10 jobs.

Would this be a good choice of filler? http://www.amazon.com/Z-Grip%C2%AE-Non-Clog-Lightweight-Filler-Gallon/dp/B000K1FWI4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=automotive&qid=1236867120&sr=1-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
