I read the TDS on feather fill....has anyone else?
Where does it say you can paint it?

There's short cuts and experiments that many put these products through, but unless the TDS says it's ok, it's not.

My many years in the business and factory trained on fillers and several paint companies have taught me this...nonr ever said you can paint body filler.

There's the right way, then there's improv... I chose the manufacturers reccomended procedure over years of experiments.

For clarity, I said finishing putty, not glazing putty which is lacquer based and is not a product I was use anywhere.

Good luck with your project OP.
