keeniau96 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebike Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be the best decision ... once it has set you will need a file to do anything with it ... Edited April 11, 2017 by JAS21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malt25 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Isn't that the whole idea ? Fill, file, sand & paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kartman Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Rasp file on excess filler on certain surfaces of a bumper then sand lot quicker than just sanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
