Default Body Work

Hey all,

I have a Tamiya Super Blackfoot and the body of the truck has some pretty nice goudges in it and would like to know what would be a good filler to use to patch up these mars and scratches so I can repaint the body.

Thanks much in advance

i am assuming the blackfoot body is abs plastic? if so, then just use automotive bondo or filler glaze to fill in the cuts and sand smooth. make sure to prime the whole body after doing body work so the paint wont react with the changing surface. good luck!

ICrashThings - Man I don't think I can help you there either except what you were doing to it in your last post. Sorry []

Guys thanks for the replies, TikiKustoms I will give the automotive bondo a try. Yes it is ABS Plastic and I will prime before applying top coat.

Again Thanks all, and Happy Easter
