Mixing Mud for Skim Coat

Skip skim coating the entire car with filler, I would use a polyester primer like feather fill.

at the shop I work at we use transtar poly primer, fills GREAT! In the long run it will save you money vs filling everything with a glaze or such, normally If we have to do any 'skim coatings' its with glaze and Evercoats metal stuff is expensive as hell around $25 a bottle, its insane.
