My friend & I were going to try to fix a dent on his 89 Camry. I was looking to buy some body filler but I am confused as to which one to get. Anybody have any opinions on which of these would work best?

the Evercoat Rage fillers are what pros use. If you have never down body work before, you would be best to read up on some tips off the net.

A few:

1. bang out any dents as much as possible. The thinner the filler, the better.

2. Rough out the shape of the initial filler coat if necessary using a rasp just after the filler has cured and is still slightly soft. It's much easier to work at this stage.

3. plan on 2 or 3 coats of filler. the last coat is usually thinned to give a better finish.

Depends what kind of dent you got, if you're gonna have to get more than a quarter inch thick of filler to fill it up, bang it some more.

Youtube is a great ressource for that, I've done a lot of bodywork on my old Camry just watching the pros get at it. I needed to enlarge my balls a little thought cause I was scared at first.
