Vehicle Body Filler
How to choose vehicle body filler
Considerations
Choose sub-type first. Vehicle Repair & Speciality Tools holds 2K kits. Vehicle Maintenance, Care & Decor covers sprays and diagnostic kits. Vehicles & Parts lists bulk materials.
Considerations
Match material to the surface. Steel and aluminium take polyester. Glass fibre tackles cracks. Plastic and rubber need flexible grades.
Considerations
Use the colour axis to narrow choices: white, black, grey, red, blue, cream, dark/grey, light/grey, beige, green. Pick the nearest to cut painting steps.
Considerations
Weigh pack size. A 250g pack fixes one dent. A 5L kit suits fleet or full panel work.
What's good
- Two-part filler kits with separate hardener cure to a hard, sandable surface faster than single-pack sprays. They suit deep dents in steel or aluminium.
- Polyester and glass fibre gelcoats rebuild missing panel sections, not just fill chips. Useful for crash damage.
- Colours span white, black, grey, red, blue, cream, dark/grey, light/grey, beige and green. A close match means less painting later.
- Flexible decorator filler sprays work on plastic, rubber and leather trim without mixing. Quick for bumper scuffs.
- Diagnostic kits in the range help trace squeaks and faults before you apply any filler. Saves wasted product.

Care & maintenance
Maintenance
Keep hardener and filler lids tight, stored apart in a cool, dry place. This stops early cure.
Maintenance
Clean spatulas and brushes with the correct solvent before polyester sets.
Maintenance
Store coloured fillers away from direct sunlight to prevent shade drift.
Maintenance
Clear spray nozzles after use so they do not block.
