Body Filler Suggestions

What brand of body filler do you guys like to use? Only have light door dings to smooth out.

I've been using Evercoat metal glaze for light dings and such.

Rage gold is great !!!! but the price not so much. I found this filler to be a great alternative and very very easy to sand and light enough to not need the finishing putty but its heavy enough for bigger fills and thin enough for dings and much cheaper than the metal glaze. I usually use a little polyester resin to thin out the filler and fill in little pin holes.

I believe it was around mid 30s I only use the best materials,price isnt a factor quality,ease of use is more important to me.

I like the usc filler never had issues with it actually easier to spread than the z grip imo similar to the rage gold which cost about 60 a gal. is alot like the 3m gold that comes in the 5 gal. dispensor . I used to use the z grip but i bought the usc as an alternative when i did my ex's k5 blazer and like it so i stuck to it.

The z grip is still a heavy filler which sands harder imo. The usc i use is light but not as light as the gold pretty good in between. I dont cut filler with 36 as i usually do a clean spread alont with good metal work so i dont like the heavy fillers as 80 grit takes forever to cut it. I hate sanding filler but its the nature of the beast.
