Nice one, cheers lads, will give it a go .
The paint shop I use supply Octoral paint .
I have found this product http://www.octoral.com/en/products/primersPF131.html in their range, would this be the equivalent uk product ?The red pad was only used to get some really grimy stuff off the very bottom lip of the bumper, the main part of it and bonnet were done with a grey ultra fine pad.
Paint shop didnt have a clue what sealer was, and they are a pretty big firm supplying lots of bodyshops here.
I didnt mention wet on wet primer, I do have some normal grey 2K primer so would I do just as well to give it a light coat of that ?Will go with the above advise, cheers all.
Never used a sealer before apart from barcoat, Is it a U.S thing or will my paint factor know what I need ?Not sure what brand of paint is, just my local shops own brand 2K.
Got topcoat on today and came out really well, to my untrained eye anyway.Dented wing before:

And after repair and paint:

[IMG]http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h152/ajpepe72/DSCN1249.jpg[/IMG]Have just been and blocked primer down, all guide coat gone and no low spots (I gave it 4 coats of primer) I think it looks like there are some low spots in above pic because some of the primer had not flashed off at that point so looked a different shade.
I wetted the panel with water to give it a gloss and looked along it and it’s all looking fine so not sure if more primer would be needed ?
Would you use a specific sealer on it or could I just overthin some of the 2k colour to make a sealer ?got the repair in primer today, tomorrow will be blocking the primer down, then washing the garage floor down ready for paint.
Is it worth giving it a coat of white sealer or just shoot the colour ?:

[IMG]http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h152/ajpepe72/DSCN1238.jpg[/IMG]Gave it a good soaking of gun wash and it came off fairly easily, gonna skip the spray filler so have spent a bit more time on the filler, all blocked up now and happy with it.
Ive blocked it down with 80, then 120, can I prime that now or would you give it a going over with say a 320.
There is a panel im going to blend the new paint into forward of the repair so i guess the correct way is to 800 the whole panel (or would a scotchpad be better), then paint and then fade out thinner. it’s a solid 2k white so no clear, or would it be worth clearing the panel as well to help with the blend ?I suppose it was around 15 degrees celcius when sprayed on in the garage, Will try and rip it back with some 40 grit and get the space heater to warm the garage up a bit, don’t have the luxury of a proper booth.
cheers for the help guys.
The damage itself left a bitter taste in my mouth, i had a couple of tiny little dents to repair (first pic) and have recently rented a large garage, so off i go on a saturday morning to the garage, driving into the garage and I catch the side of my camper on the garage door, so i end up with much worse damage in the same area (pic 2).
Spent all day pulling it out with my stud welder and have got to the stage in pic 3, then applied the spray filler.
have resigned myself to painting everything below the body line, but do you think id get away with a spot repair on the small dent just above the body line ?[IMG]http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h152/ajpepe72/DSCN1220.jpg[/IMG]

All good tips !
Cheers guys. :clappyJust doing a couple of dents on the bottom half of my Vw T4 camper, it’s white which should be a bit more forgiving.
Cool, cheers for that.
Iv’e not used fade out thinners before, do they actually work ?
The last time i spot repaired a solid colour, i just blended it into the panel and then 1500 it where the overspray line was, but you could still see the edge in certain lights.
