Will Bondo stick to sanded paint?

Bondo Ultimate can be applied directly over sanded and cured primer and paint. This filler remains easy to sand for days after the application.

Does Bondo absorb water?

Well, the all metal fillers (under your bondo) don’t absorb water to the extent that regular bodyfiller will, but believe they still do absorb some. Plastic filler absorbs it like a sponge, but keeping some heat on it should eventually evaporate the water from the plastic filler.

What if body filler gets wet?

If the filler gets wet and still looks OK, it will still be a problem down the road. I’ve seen many high dollar paint jobs go bad from the body work failing underneath. Obviously the best thing would be to keep the car under cover until finished, but sometimes that is not possible.

Can u put Bondo over primer?

Can you apply body filler or bondo over primer filler? Yes. You CAN apply over sanded 2k primer, or bare metal. Be sure to have the area sanded with at least a 150 so the filler has some TOOTH to grab to.

Does Bondo freeze?

The bondo will be OK if frozen. Polyester resin keeps very well in a refridgerator, for long term storage. The hardner may not be good after extreme cold. Hardner doesn’t freeze the same as water.

Can you paint over Bondo?

I use automotive primers, they are relatively cheap, come in all sorts of colours too. And Bondo is a car body filler so automotive paint is designed to coat it. As with all spray paint just use thin multiple coats to build up the base and it should look great. Fairly sure any primer is fine.

Does Bondo go bad?

If it is a few months old it should be fine. just mix it up real well. Go ahead and use it, it will definitely be fine. The hardener does wear out.

How much hardener do you put in Bondo?

Use a golf ball size amount of filler and use 5-8 drops of hardener or about and inch and a half strip of hardener.

What grit sandpaper should I use before painting a car?

When painting a vehicle, sandpaper can often be your best friend. Use low grit sandpaper such as 80 or 300 grit pieces to smooth out the scratches or imperfections in the surface of the vehicle. You should also spend some time practicing good wet sanding methods with 1000 or higher grit papers.

Can you apply clear coat over wet paint?

Clearcoat Spray Paint Allow 30 minutes after base coat color has been applied to apply the clear coat. Apply 4-5 wet (but not dripping) coats waiting 10+ minutes in between coats. Each coat should be dry to the touch (not tacky) before moving on to the next.

How long should clearcoat dry before wet sanding?

Clear coat should be allowed to harden for at least 24 hours before attempting to use a buffer. In most cases, you will be trying to remove “orange peel” when buffing a new paint job.
