is it okay to put a thin layer of filler over the whole fender and door if i sanded the bare metal with 80 grit? or will i have a problem with it cracking later down the line...i guess this is called a skim layer or no?

im not a body man haha so just need a little advice

thanks

Mike, there is a polyester bondo out there. from what i have read, it is the preferred skim to use. cruise local book store, check out current issue of street rodder mag. the one that talks about water color paint. they show skimming a hood with it.

 

on one of the tv shows, the one with Boyd Coddington, they skim the whole side of a 56 chevy. used the polyester stuff, says it's more like a thick primer than a filler.
