A spray filler is a high build primer designed to level out surface irregularities such as deep scratches, sanding marks, or minor pits. Unlike traditional body fillers that are applied with a spreader, spray fillers allow for a more uniform application over a wider area. They are incredibly efficient for the final stage of surface preparation, ensuring the panel is perfectly flat and smooth before you apply your basecoat or clearcoat.
How does spray filler differ from a standard primer?
While a standard primer is typically thin and designed to provide a base for paint adhesion and corrosion protection, a spray filler is significantly thicker. Its primary job is to "fill" the surface. It builds up a thicker film layer to hide surface defects. Many professional refinishers use spray filler as the bridge between their initial repair work and the final painting stages to ensure the most professional appearance.
Can I use spray fillers on plastic parts?
Yes, but you must choose a compatible product. Many spray fillers in our collection are suitable for use on plastics, provided the substrate has been cleaned and prepared with an adhesion promoter if necessary. Always check the technical data for the specific filler to ensure it is suitable for the type of plastic you are working on, such as PP or ABS, to guarantee a strong and lasting bond.
