I would bet that you can sand most of it off and use a pic to get the rest off out of the cracks. I would definitely get it out of there. I knew better and used it anyway thinking I did not need much filler and it would be thin well I was wrong I now have a nice truck with a great paint job and an ugly ring where I filled in a sun roof window.

I 100% recommend the EVER COAT Polly Flex there is nothing that even comes close to this stuff.

thanks where do you get that stuff from...a lhs or home improvement store?

[MoRockN]

^^ Auto part store is where you'll find it.

[1985 kenworth]

thanks i will check into that

[1985 kenworth]

here is a pic of what i have done on the trailer so far still a ways away from finishing but i got the stainless look on the sides and installed the nose and the sides so far

[1985 kenworth]

will post more pics of it outside on the weekend ..inside doesn't for some reason show the true colours of it

[1985 kenworth]

wrapped the corners in stainless/crome wrap this shows the difference in colour

is that the stick on stuff i see at some (select) truckstops?

nice looking trailer!

and you can get evercoat stuff up here at napa usually, carquest has a different brand i have used on my 1:1 pickup years ago, it worked good but the evercoat worked better.

rage gold also works great for body filler

The trailer looks great, them tandems are slide way far forward huh? Is that the look your going for? This trailer is really coming out great. Nice job.

[1985 kenworth]
