  My Monza was treated to two coats of epoxy primer as the paintshop decided to do a bare metal job on the whole car, lots of sanding!

Epoxy primer seems to be the way to go nowadays , should last forever 

very good material.. the only drawback is it hides the small scratches and dings (or imperfections) because of its color.. so after sanding you have to apply 2 coats of original metallic color without laquer - too see imperfections left

but one good side it keeps window 72 hours (glassurite)

ps: I bet very few will understand this "window"

the time window to overcoat it?

yep.. so it can have chemical adhesion  


ps: I never trust chemical adhesion alone.. I always sand.. only exception is laquer/clear coat over color coat when its wet

Got some rear lower panel repair to do , just waiting for the rain to stop  Slight dent on the corner from previously owned . Will pull out then fill and paint , bumper needs to come off for access though . Got a few scuff marks on the plastic bumper same side too

before everything spare some time for the color match.. later when you start I'll tell how to blend with adjacent panel(s).. or in the same panel.. but keep in mind you have to clear coat whole part otherwise you will end up with an inevitable line regardless of how much you sand


and as for filling , you can use several applications of primer filler instead of bondo which has the risk of fracturing..  and use the largest block possible for sanding


and  a piccie will be helpful for us to decide where to blend

Yep , already got some primer filler although the dent is very shallow so once pulled out will try to file the metal flat . What about chemical metal , ive used that before to good effect

chemical metal ? never used that before .. will check

[omega3000]

Chemical metal can be filed and shaped like filler but much more stronger than filler
