James Iroc-z
Hey guys, currently restoring my 1986 Iroc-z. Windshield out, doors are off, all the body panels off. Planning on spraying the car a more modern White color, like BMW's Alpina White.
I took just about the whole car down to bare metal, repaired a couple rust spots, and sprayed SPI White Epoxy on everything, including the plastics bumpers, fiberglass pieces, etc in hopes the paint color is as uniform as possible when the job is done.
After the Epoxy was sprayed, I waited 24-48 hours and sprayed 2-3 coats of grey 2k build primer on everything on the vehicle.
There are a couple dimples on the doors, 4 spots I counted that will need a light layer of body filler. And 1 small ding on the chassis itself.
So my question is, since the car is already epoxy & 2k primed, whats my best option now my taking time and materials into consideration as well. I know it's not the "CORRECT" high-end industry standard to put body filler over 2k. But I am also aware 90% of production shops do this, if not worse.
What's your guys opinions on what I should do next?
Should I scuff the couple spots where body filler is needed with 80 grit, and apply my body filler over the epoxy/2k, sand, and let it dry for a week or so before I apply another couple coats of 2k, and guide coat until its straight?
Or?
Body filler I am using is Evercoat Rage Ultra. Or should I be using layers of glazing putty over the 2k instead?
