i dont see why body filler wouldnt work

djmickyg

is the fiber glass fixed in with the bondo?
if there seperate u dont really have to put the glass in.. u may want to put a little in the 2 big side holes.

but for the top coat u dont want fiberglass.
1. its a ***** to sand.
2. u wont get a good finish when u paint it.. u will see the fiberglas stands.

edit: just looking at the stuff u bought again.. it just looks like fiber glass..
which will be good and strong for the base but u will still need to get a body filler to put over the top to sand.. fiberglass will be hard to sand on it own.

did it cure hard? that stuff looks bright white, like you didn't mix any hardener in! Surely you did? But yeah get the normal stuff to put on the top layer. Actually thats hardly anything to fill so I would have just used regular bondo for the whole thing

not sure if fiber glass have bondo in it but it says "Repairs or Restyle all Metal,Wood,Plastic and Fiberglass Surfaces" and also they have a note behind the can that say "FIBERGLASS RESIN JELLY SHOULD ONLY BE USED FIBERGLASS CLOTH OR MATTING FOR STRENGTH, NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USED WITHOUT FIBERGLASS AS A CLOTHING ALONE.WHEN USED WITH PLASTIC FILM OR RELEASE FILM,THE TOP SURFACE MAYBE SLIGHTLY TACKY" this is why i would like to skip the fiberglass thing,not sure if i would have to do all this for just a small spot to cover,but i'm affraid the bondo filler will crack after a while if i dont use fiberglass first .thanks guys

the epoxy weld i used cured really fast,in about 10 mins its hard like a rock and i was able to sand it down using my dremel.did they have bondo filler for plastic,all i can find only for metal or fiberglass dont know if its okey to use them.

Magsino

maybe next thing i will need help is how will i paint this thing,i want to paint it like piano finished

Hey,

The guys gave you the wrong stuff. You need "Bondo Glass". This stuff is in a similar looking can but it says something like Fiberglass Reinforced Bondo. It is basically just bondo with fiberglass in it. Use that stuff

I have the exact same bezel as you do in my F-150 Supercrew. I am curious as to how yours comes out. I tried bondo filler and then Duramix 4040 which is a plastic weld. The bondo cracked and the 4040 worked well, it is just a pain to work with. I still have to go back and do sanding and filling, but i have been using the bezel in a rough state for 4 months or so.

I actuall bought an extra bezel so I have my original still. They are about $75 if you are wondering. Ford has factory match spray paint.

Let me know if you have any questions.
