What filler or stopper should I use...?

[The Z'eer]

Recently painted this body panel, two coats of Lechler 29107. As seen in the pictures there are areas that require attention...

...how should I proceed from here?

Key the areas of concern and then apply the specific filler I'm guessing, should I scuff the areas with a green scotchbrite or a certain grit of sandpaper? What filler should I use thereafter?

Thanks

The recommendation when I asked was Upol Fantastic, hardly used any but it appears good stuff.

Or, for what it is, upol dolphin

You would do well to hammer and dolly the first one to reduce it a little. If I t was me, I would scuff it up wit 120 dry, probably upol dolphin. Block it back 120 to shape, guide coat and 180, re prime.

As with Norsa, I'd scuff up but I use upol fantastic then block to 180 before priming

Bottom one you'll be able to get with cutting back and painting a few coats of primer/filler. Fill a small touch up can up and shoot the section every hour and cut back. Ten goes. Should be flat. Hammer and dolly on the top two definitely the top one if you couldn't get around the back of it then the option would be cataloy. then same procedure. Hard to tell on pictures the drasticness of the dent.

With respect, I wouldn't use primer as a filler. It's a surfacer. Skim of 2k stopper would be my choice pre primer.

I cant remember whats what but I remember upol dolphin has 1k versions, not used them but, Id stick to 2k to save effort later on.

No it isn't, the thickened area will shrink back . That is why fine stoppers like Dolphin Glaze exist.

can't say i've ever had a problem. years later still straight as a die.
i do use stopper and filler. depending on how bad it is.
if i can get it flat with just primer. i'll use that.
do a coat, cut back then umm and arrr... toss up whether i can get it with a few more coats, or i'm going to need get filler out.
stopper i'll use for like deep 5p dings. just with the thumb.

Upon Dolphin Glaze Putty is good stuff

 

[marlinspike]

I've found Dolphin Glaze to be very good too. Needs a really good mixing if the bag's been left a while .

180 it and a smear of any 2 part filler will take care of it

Thanks Nick unfortunately I’m not familiar with the process of hammer and dolly, I don’t have the tools either. The imperfections may appear worse in the photos, I’d estimate about 2mm in depth at the worst.

I’ve purchased the filler, should be here soon.

Yeah, I heard read some good reviews for Upol Fantastic

I like dinitrol 6030. Its anti corrosive and claims to be pore free. Lots of people say they don't need glazes when using it. Not had any issues using that over scuffed OE paint then epoxy primer over the top.
