I am closing in on my metal work on the touring.

I assume body filler has advanced since I was young.

What do you guys find "friendly" to work, sand?
Also that will not pop off. I used lead on major areas of wear, but I need to skim coating it for all the minor low spots.

I will be using Acrlic Lacquer I snuck into Kalifornia.😱

I have restored many vehicles, including paint, and prefer to only use Evercoat Rage Gold. Sands easy, lightweight. No shrinkage or lifting. I never use Bondo brand filler on serious restorations. It’s heavy, and eventually will shrink and lift. Only use professional products. I use epoxy primer on bare metal.
