Hi guys, I know some of you are lucky enough to own cars that won't be rusty for some time, and some don't a flying shit if the red devil is lightening your car as we speak.
Unfortunately, my Sierra has had some "work" done recently, and while I splodged and scraped the dreaded P38 filler, I found myself thinking
"There must be something better than this..." I often see documentaries on TV with wizards wielding a smooth easy to move pliable form of loveliness, any ideas anyone? (Let's face it, with a 23 year old car I'm gonna be doing this again!)

When you say 'better', in what way? Maybe send me some pictures via the phone or email............if you're brave enough to post them on here

Give us a ring if you want some tips from a bodge artist.

russ could be your man , he's the bodywork dude on here
that filler in a can stuff that is easy to rub down could be the stuff you need to get a good finish , not sure what he called it but sounds good stuff

You can get a good finish with most of the P38 style products, you just have to be careful with the application and expect to have a go more than once.

Russ is the man though

Go old skool and use lead

ive always classed filler as a cosmetic aid rather than a repair product ,if you cannot get steel back in then some fibre glass first is a good start imo:)

Rob, Filler is evil!!! Please don`t fill the sierra:eek: I know its a pain in the arse, But you would be far better to let in some new metal to those arch bottoms, ( i know you can use a welder;)) then use the filler to skim it off. Or as a quick fix like Jason has already said, chop out all the red stuff and build it back with fibre glass before filling. I can`t remember the name of the filler i have ( I will have a look tommorrow) It is good stuff, as i have found alot do leave pin holes. Just dont forget your reface though rob when you`ve filled It!:thumbs:Good luck mate.

I`ve been and had a look, and the stuff i use is U-pol quick sand. I quite rate it for not giving an aero bar finnish like alot of others ive used seem to?

bring it in too work and i will flat it off robfor you

Thank God for that Dave

Rob can barely make a cup of tea, let alone work on cars
