Nettles Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Can I use body filler on something before I get it powder coated? Was thinking of filling over some of the welds on my chassis before I get it coated.
Lukey Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 If you do It'd have to fill it with something like chemical metal, doesent powder coating 'charge' the object so wold have to be metal? Could be wrong though

Rick Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 you could always lead load the welds and then sand down as you would filler. or a file would be better
deluxemk1 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 Ricks idea sounds best i think not that ive done it before leading should be ok I think . Lead kits are available from frost restoration or eastwood I belive
ASBO CAPRI Posted March 7, 2008 Report Posted March 7, 2008 I used to do powder coating. The powder coating would probably still cover the fillered areas wether there metal or not. Though not shore how the filler would stand up to the baking process. The powder coating is normally baked on at 200-210 degrees
Nettles Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Posted March 7, 2008 Cheers people think I’ll make sure that my welds are neater and save myself the hassle.
