bodyfilling.

[YoungKadafi]

So im looking to fill in some seams like where the bumper and the body meet. Can i just pack it full of bodyfiller, and repaint the area? i wanna do the same for the rear bumper, and maybe some other parts of the car. I dont have a welder, and cant afford one. But i have lots of body filler and paint. I can get the bumpers supported with greatstuff foam so it will be rigid. anybody?

i say dont do it, ive seen cars with it professionally filled and it still cracks when you hit a bump. now imagine you fill it and go for a drive and all your work just cracks and falls off

dont use filler....it will crack since filler is not meant to be more than 1/4" thick...the best way i know to do it will be mad expensive...using a special 3M adhesive called 8115 it is a panel bonding adhesive...but it requires soo much work and money....my opinion = dont do it...it will crack and it just makes it a pain in the ass if you ever need to take your bumpers off...so just leave it how it is
