Body Filler Question

BillGrissom said

You can generally tell how thick it is w/ a magnet. Thin filler is no problem. Indeed, on the car shows they often skim the entire body w/ filler then sand it smooth, but they are going for a "better than factory" super-shiny look w/ a $15k paint job.

Most of the guys on tv are making money off tv. If they could actually build a car, they'd make money off the builds, not the residuals from the tv contract. The real car builders know the tricks of the trade to level metal without the overuse of filler.

Filler should only be used at a minimum. Even an 1/8" is too much in my opinion.
