First off I'd like to wish everyone well being during these dark times.
I just purchased an 06 touring with 135k for $3000. I was aware of this small chip on the A pillar. I did some research and was shocked to see them over $500. Yikes. So I was hoping to get some advise as to whether it's repairable or fubar. I mean I can live with it but I'd like to fix it if possible. Any ideas on how to tackle something like this?
You would have to make a form out of some substrate to get the filler to stay in place, some sanding, priming and painting. If no previous body filler experience I'd day get a used one from salvage yard.
If that's the case go for it! You'll need-
Masking tape
Bondo and something to mix on
Sandpaper
Dr Color/DupliColor primer, top coat and clear rattle cans
Good light
1" putty/mixing knife
newspaper/craft paper for masking
You may need something inside the lower curve to hold the filler in, or wait a little longer until it's more firm.
