Rough sanding of the first coat to approach the required shape.

Applying a finer finishing filler coat to remove minor defects.

Final sanding with fine abrasive to a perfectly smooth surface.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How many filler coats are usually needed?+

Usually two coats — a coarser first coat for the main levelling and a thin finishing coat to remove the finest unevenness, each with intermediate sanding. The number can vary depending on the depth of the original defects.

How long does filler take to dry before sanding?+

Curing time depends on the specific material and the room temperature, usually from 20 minutes to an hour between coats — we always follow the manufacturer's recommended curing time for a quality result.

Is filler visible after painting?+

When done correctly with sufficient final sanding, filler becomes completely invisible under the primer and paint layer — quality preparation ensures a perfectly smooth, even final surface.

What happens if the careful filler sanding step is skipped?+

Any untreated unevenness will become clearly visible after painting, especially in direct sunlight or in reflections — that's why we pay special attention to checking the surface by sighting before moving to the next step.

Can a deep dent be filled without prior straightening?+

We don't recommend it — filler is designed to remove minor surface unevenness, not to fill significant depth. Deep dents must first be straightened, and only the residual minor unevenness is removed with filler.

How long does filling one panel take?+

From 1 to 3 hours, depending on the panel's area and the number of coats needed, including intermediate drying and sanding.

Does filling differ between metal and plastic panels?+

The technology is similar, but for plastic (e.g. a bumper), special compounds are used that bond better with the flexible material and retain elasticity appropriate for plastic, unlike stiffer compounds used for metal.
