you using lab metal or jb weld for your filler?

what is your preference, read pro's and con's of both

oh and you sure get your coats smooth, no o-peel there, is that 2 coat or single?, cause I know you usually spray a clear on top...right

with a quality gun set up properly for the part your shooting, and great prep you can get some awesome finishes







even with multi coats... this fender was body worked, metal lab, primer, base, and clear (total of 3 coats) to give you an idea this fender is off a 1950's ducati
