Eastwood's custom-blended Contour Premium Body Filler contains rust inhibitors to prevent corrosion long after paint has been applied. Its unique self-etching properties bite into the surface for excellent adhesion. This unique formula spreads and sands beautifully, thus eliminating pinholes. Furthermore, its excellent feather-edging properties won't clog up sandpaper. This premium body filler is a true one-step application, since no glazing putties are required.

I will be an Eastwood guy soon. I'll be in the market for a complete paint kit later in the year. I need everything from the compressor, spray gun, to all the accessories and equipment needed to do a complete car. I'm building a list on your website following these videos,I will implement all this information I do have a little bit of exsprience but not enough to give training because we are opening a full auto collition training centre in SOUTH AFRICA with the Celette bench training to panelbeating and spray painting. Thank you EASTWOOD for your videos.
Watching this again in 2020 wishing this guy was still making new instructional videos today

Absolutely awesome video! I live in a country where proper workmen are rare and proper tools seem even more rare! But with these explanations and tips I can do alot of the repairs on my car myself. Thanks alot
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice work. Thanks for sharing so many tips and tricks as well as solid fundamentals of filler and paint prep. BTW my first car was a 78 ZED 28 white.
I believe Kevin might be the best product spokesman since Billy Mays, with out all of the non sense yelling. Nice work Kevin, I believe you should be hosting a major Hot Rod show yesterday. very talented...

We used a paint shaker to mix body filler in autobody school. No air bubble problems.
The signs that people staple to utility poles make excellent and free mixing boards. And you are doing the general public a favor!
I bought the aluminum one from harbor freight. I guess mixing on cardboard isn't a good idea. Because the hardener seeps into the material and doesn't mix properly. Luckly I never had an issue prior to buying a real mixing board.
This guy is awesome
Smart but a riot to watch. Fun video
this is a great channel ... I wish i would have found you guys a long time ago
Awesome videos, thanks for the refresh 🤙🏽
Hi kevin great work that you doin and I have a question for you can I replace the regular body filler with the fiber body filler
very informative, ii'm such a rookie i thought it looked good when he first applied the filler and pressed it as he wiped and said to myself oh like that? then he continued to apply more and more and felt lost after it piled up. what is the rule for applying filler over an entire panel it there a certain thickness it must reach or thinner the better?
Also does the metal have be tripped or can there be some paint still present?
Any issues with contamination putting aluminum filler on steel? I know when we fix aluminum hoods and things we have to be very careful to wrap our hammers and dollies (which are steel) in order to not contaminate the surface. Thanks
Good question
difference between bondo and filler and the colors is the bondo pink and filler is green when to use bondo and when to use filler thank for ur explanation and tutorials
A question I was curious about was regarding self etching primer. Is it considered to be an "old school" approach to first coating over bare metal? Is it that big of a disadvantage over the new epoxy primer for bare metal coverage?
I have a pretty deep gouge on the metal door panel of my Honda element. Which product would be best for this. It does not need to be perfect.
Can I use short strand fiberglass on top of epoxy primer

🤘 One of us. Gooble gobble.
What do you recommend for an old '72 240Z? The side panel has about a 1/4 inch depth change.
What body filler should i used for plastic and wood, i am doing a custom dash for my truck
Thank you. You're a Great teacher.
Awesome videos and technical advice. From Grand Forks BC
Hi EW. What should I put over a firewall smoothie panel that I welded in place. It is a stitch weld with some holes & gaps. Thanks
What body filler would you use for a fiberglass corvette.?
Can you apply body filler over rust converter? And can you apply body filler over gray primer, regardless of the primer mfg?
Hey Kevin, have you done any episodes about painting candy pearl,do you do the inside jambs and cab 1st ( on a 67c10), painting the whole outside in 1 shot, or hang all the parts in a line and paint separately,
Does body filler need to be applied to completely clean metal ? Ie. No paint layers left over from sanding, primer ? I guess what im asking is, does every little bit of paint and primer need be removed for body filler to stick to the panel ?
use evercoat or duraglass over weld seams its flexible an water proof
how to fix small rust bubbles around my rear wheel well
Mate, thank you! I had insomnia until I found this channel :)
Excellent video.
Do you spray clear or basecoat with 1.7 tip???
Was up eastwood can you make a video of how to do body lines
I think those bondo fumes got Kevin feeling groove.lol
So when it's bare metal, you'd use Bondo, then epoxy, then 2k primer, then paint?
Hey guys I love these videos.. but I need some help filling over weld repairs. When I weld panels in how do I treat the welded areas? Do you already have a video on it bc if so I haven't seen it yet. Do I use fiberglass filler straight over the welds then primer, or maybe use an epoxy or rust encapsulater over the welds to hold the moisture out then regular filler over that?? I'm familiar with body work other than over these welds. I ask because I've gotten 2 recently with cracked paint/filler over patch panel welds and upon stripping found new rust under the filler lifting it and the paint. Seems to be a common problem and appearantly the diy'ers are unsure and putting plastic filler straight over these welds. Please tell me the proper way asap as I have one to do this weekend and make a video soon. Thanks guys. Btw I'm a faithful Eastwood customer. Love your company.
What is the first step buffing or topcoat
How would I go about getting trained to work for the Eastwood company so I can become a professional painter eventually because am a novice now trying to learn auto painting.
Ok I know nothing about this. I had someone that said they know how to do filler it was only for a small spot where the decals was taken off the side fenders there was 2 holes that need to be filled I watched him mix everything up but he never did take it down to bear metal or even sand it. After watching a few videos. I have found that what he done was wrong. I have already had the vehicle painted how long could this be good for before it fails and comes off. My truck does vibrate from the exhaust and motor.
Shouldn't you spray epoxy on the bare metal first, otherwise it will sweat under the filler and rust?
Or you can use Bondo over epoxy but it has to be within a day or 2?
Hi do you sell 2k primer on spray can? Great video
I am so tempted to start over on my 1980 Camaro
Excellent, love it
Do u apply filler on engine? Can u do a video on engine paint with your technique?
Kevin is the man
For beginners the video starts at 15:18 (The mixing body filler part). Everything before that is what I consider "Information for experienced people"
It's a whole lot of product salesmanship. I couldn't believe how much hardener he used in his filler and how much filler he put on the panel. Made for a lot more work than he needed. When you have been doing it for many years you realize that filler builds a lot more than you think it does. Less is better. Less filler, less sanding, less product, less cost. Wouldn't have to go over it with 36grit if he didn't have to sand so much filler out. He didn't look very experienced at administering filler to me either.
@A. Melbs Not particularly. I don't watch a whole lot of youtube videos on this stuff. I own a body shop and run both ends of the insurance/body work so I stay hooked up. If I come across one I will recommend it to you
once the bondo has been layed down on the surface do you want to add primer right away before you add base
Thanks for the videos, I am restoring a 68 firebird.
Fack you ☺
Can someone List all the Fillers mentioned in the Eastwood Video?
I have a bad habbit of taping off the area I'm working on
Every time I mix body filler it set up really fast take a filler put it on the metal tray after I mix it put it about the size of a sauser put harder a little less than half the sauser. Across one stream by time I get it mixed its all ready setten up i even tried less harder same thing
I got a 1958 Ford F-100. Working on it
Great instructional video! Thank you. I am the novice DIY guy. I am preparing to prep a 1990 F-150 for a raptor coat. Will the contour premium filler and contour glazing putty work well for prepping for Raptor Coat after I dolly the dents out?
Yes! You will need to topcoat with epoxy primer and then move forward with the rest of the prep sanding it and the bed with 120-180 grit.
This guys the goat
You gotta admit there’s nobody like Kevin Titz. He knows how to explain things like it should be explained. Clear as day.
Titz a legend
Any other Bondo mixers
Who needs editing? This is how it's done!
Kevin is legendary
How about investing with this awesome products in Sudan Africa?
Awesome 👍👏👏
I plan on buying the block sending key that you have. The question is what different sandpapers do I need to start out? I won't actually be signing paint but I will be setting everything else from metal prep, blocking, primer getting ready to send it to the paint shop. I want to be able to buy it by the rolls if possible! Thanks
All the sandpaper you need is at Eastwood. www.eastwood.com/autobody/sandpaper.html
bondo yellow? just no grey, lead alum bondo?? old chevy need help.
Brother man havin fun making it rain
im trying to findnout what body fillers i should use and what sandpaper i need to use
To discuss your project with an Eastwood Tech so you get all the proper tools and products, please call 866.759.2131....or visit Eastwood.com. Thanks.
81 firebird. What would you use on the bumper front and back? I'm sure it's the flexible filler but gotta ask the experts
Those bumpers are really good at holding their shape or bouncing back with a bit of heat (even just leaving in the sun on a hot day). You can still use standard body filler like our www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-premium-body-filler.html if it's kept thin and on non moving parts. Or if your bumpers are really out of shape consider getting some fresh ones.
Great videos!
Lacquer thinner works to clean to
Groovy stuff, you are not that old.:>)
Dude awesome I help my God father all the time and I learned so much thanks from Arkansas
Glad to help!
price list
I just like to say is I have watched. Many videos on how to do a good job the right way you are the best I like the way u teach/like your sign says Do the job right. thank u
Thanks. Love to hear from Eastwood Guys!
so on small dents do i need to pull with hammer or can i just use body filler only on small dents?
Crypto Pirate dings you can just put putty but if you can make an inference that you might be able to make it flatter it will be best the less bindi the better
What's the best filler to use on bare steel? I stripped all the paint off a car to repair all the body panels as well as replace a lot of rotten sheetmetal. While I wait for the sheetmetal to show up, I am working out the debt with a hammer and dolly. Now I need to fill in the small remaining dents and don't have paints to blend into, just bare metal. Thanks.
David Ekleberry You could use the Eastwood Contour Premium Filler or Aluminum-Filled Compound. If you have any pits, don't forget to prep the area with Eastwood Fast Etch, which is going to remove the rust from the pits so it doesn't push back through your filler and paint. Here's a link to the Body Fillers available at Eastwood, and if you'd like to talk to a Tech, you can find info there as well. www.eastwood.com/autobody/body-fillers.html
hi. I mixed and applied bodyfiller with the hardener and I guess I didn't add enough hardner to the mix as it did not solidify and remained pasty. is there anything I can do to this to prevent me from removing all the material and starting over? How do I save all the product already used?
Aldean Louis If it didn't harden properly, you will need to remove all of the filler and start over. Check out this video which may help: ruclips.net/video/i2zCiyNu8wU/видео.html
Heat throw some heat on it maybe it’s to cold.
got car painted and they got overspray on my exhaust.. How can I get that off?car painted black and they didn't tape off the exhaust underneath.. can see black splatter on exhaust, how can I get that off??
WPGinterceptor lacquer thinner and a rag or clay towel/bar and water
Cheers guys
I am working on body filler now. Been working on a quarter panel a couple hours a day for a few days now. I won't have a chance to work on it for a few day so I went over the area I am working on with self etch because there is exposed bare metal. Will sand it off when I get a chance to sand that area again. Is that an ok process to do so I don't get rust on exposed metal?
Kevin where are you mate??
Please come to us eastwood 😢😢😢..
Kevin is awesome. no show off ego. learn alto from him since trucks. too bad he doesn't teach would love to learn how to paint from him
freeyourmind88 look up paintucation dvds he made. He teaches you everything about painting
20:18 Once hardener is in it why use the prep to clean the applicator off? The cured body filler just peals right off. Eastwood products are expensive enough.
Kevin what filler is good to fill a hole on a metal bumper? do I clean it first ? with what?
Lmao, I love the ross reference..
My dad has done body work for 40 years. All the fillers now days are design to last long enough to make you look bad. But, when you have a brother that’s a top notch chemist. LoL, the easy old fillers are working for us now!!!! Bahhahahha
