Any of you guys used this debeer 2k highfill??

I have before, it's not to bad, i just prefer the sikkens "personally" the main thing with high build is to get the repairs good enough, that you're just filling minor scratches or imperfections. It's only for that reason. It's not recommended to hi build twice & with a bare metal job, you shouldn't need to, sand any filler repairs out to 240 or 320 & feather to about 400 free cut, shoot a coat on the repairs first, give it a 20 minute flash time & high build the panels 3 times, with a 20 minute flash between each coat, put the first coat on just wet & the next 2 wet & you should be all good. DON'T put any form of paint on dry. If you have the time, I'd recommend leaving each epoxy, high build & paint on for a month, between stages, this will allow for the solvents to gas out fully, a proper cure & any shrinkage to Finnish, resulting in a better final result, you could cover up the surface loosely, after probably 3 - 5 days. I like to use clean flannelette sheets ect. I'd probably leave the top coat 2 weeks though.

No problem mate, i always try to generalize in advice, so it can be used for numerous people, if it seems basic information ever, it's so it doesn't need to be repeated numerous times to different people. Nothing personal. I try to make things, simple, methodical & hopefully easy to follow. Gary.
