where to buy auto body filler

[keeniau96]

My Ranger has several small (about 8 cm dia) bumps on rear fender, probably from parking, giving or getting. Minor thing but visual nuisance to me. I have fixed such before in the USA just by cleaning, then filling with body filler, sanding and paint touchup. No advice needed on this but I do need help finding the filler here (Phuket or BKK)). Help will be appreciated.

I recently bought some epoxy metal filler at HomePro. It wasn't marked as an Auto product but did ok for me on some metal repairs. Not on a car though. Sorry, forget the name.

Hope this helps.

Almost all auto parts stores have body filler. On Phuket I can recommend the guy, directly across from Tesco - Lotus Park beside Phuket California Villa.

Might not be the best decision  ... once it has set you will need a file to do anything with it ...

Isn't that the whole idea ? Fill, file, sand & paint.

Body filler is sanded down, not filed. And designed for paint adhesion, as it is porous. Epoxy filler metal is just that - metal. Not dent and scratch repair material.

NO ... well not unless you are stupid..

Rasp file on excess filler on certain surfaces of a bumper then sand lot quicker than just sanding.

OP - several small (about 8 cm dia) bumps on rear fender,

Hardly a job for a rasp
