I was just wondering if I could put metal glaze (to fill some pits in metal) over the primer I have already applied?The primer I used was RS1000 Etching primer, then RS3701 2k surfacer, all made by Western(made by Sherwin Williams). Or do I have to take it Back down to metal? TIA.

That's what I use the Metal Glaze for......Minor imperfections. I had a few spots I had to use the metal glaze on at work and it took care of the problem. I've been working on a frame off rebuild of a 1965 GTO and it just went in the booth for it's second coat of primer. If it all sands good this next time it will be painted late next week.

Martin Senior and other seasoned body men have preached against the evils of metal glaze, saying that it is incompatible with most modern paints. You may want to talk to a paint rep to make sure it is compatible with what you are using.

4ontheFloor...I thought that was what he said to use(two part) & stay away from the kind in a tube that you dont have to mix a hardner with.

Rim: I used the 2 step metal glaze on the frame where my son got sandblasting happy. It worked real well, sanded smooth and the fram looks like glass. Secret is the prep before putting it on.

popcorn The Truth is Out There (As i say it worked for me, but I'm still learning)

Oops, sorry, I had a brain fart and was thinking you meant glazing putty, which is the crappy stuff. Carry on!
