Body Work Tutorial

Question i have replaced the metal [hand formed pieces] in the cars shell in the areas that required it after i ground/smoothed the welds i filled the area with duraglass just to rough shape. Should i have sealed the entire car prior to applying the filler or am i ok with what i have done? I went to the body supply store today and the guy did not seem to think i had screwed up by doing that he said that old school guys may think its wrong but fillers have improved over the years and not to worry. Should i continue to skim coat and smooth the body prior to sealing or etch primer or what? kinda lost here i don't want to waste time and money doing this, hopefully i have not done something that i have to redo.

Duraglass is a more modern product with the correct adhesives to apply to bare metal. I choose to get the panel as close to original as possible and use Evercoat glaze. You really don't want more than 8-10 mils of filler imo. After the "Hard" bodywork is done (I finish rough with 180grt) then i use a quality epoxy sealer. Let that kick a day and then continue with the "Finess" bodywork and finish it with 320grt. 2 coats of 2K filler primer then a good wetsand with 800. Seal again and shoot color-sometimes a midcoat-clearcoat. Done! Unless you run/slide the clear LoL!
