I’ve never heard of spray filler ? Maybe Hans means high build primer to fill the pin holes ?

Is not bad that stuff for the final finish

Be careful the primer may sink after time .

After weeks away from the van for various reasons, I'm back at it today. More sanding joy. I'm still only working on the first side btw. I blame you lot for making me paranoid about flaws showing through my metalic paint when its time. Thanks for that!

Have fun sanding! I wasn't going for the same finish as you but still had hours of sanding to do on mine, it's boring but necessary

I can kinda switch off to the monotony of it. Probably just aswell. Same with decorating. Pure autopilot

Perfect job to be doing after a doobie.
A bit of music and loose a couple of hours. Bliss.

Keep pushing, we need to see this finished.

This has probably been mentioned many times Neil, but I wouldn't choose metallic paint - it's so very problematic to subsequently match up. Go for a practical flat colour, and a lacquer top coat if you must.

I'm already committed Jim, the engine bay has already been resprayed last year. Just using aerosols. I suppose it could easily be covered but I'm going for it. I'll probably regret it

Does anyone have any brand recommendations for a high build primer?
Still just aerosol type.
