We fabricated our own frame and have ground the welds to smooth. We then shot it with EASTWOOD'S Rust Encapsulator.
Now I'm ready to use some body filler to smooth out the welds even more.
What kind of filler should I buy?

Anyway, I would check with Eastwood on what filler you can apply over their product.

I'll check with Eastwood though.
In general though - what brand/type of filler should I use for body work on bare metal (I'm thinking for the cab)? Does it depend on what type of paint I'm going to shoot or is it just personal preference?
