Gents as we all now theres a lot of filling and sanding on the MX so my question is whats the best to use, I take it its not Halfords stuff but may be wrong.......

You can't beat UPOL P40 chop strand paste for first fill over the joins from GRP kit panel to metal:

We then use UPOL EASY 1 filler to get the shape right:

Then Top Stop to fill any small pinholes etc:

I am sure Jessop's, Comet's, HMV etc etc would agree with that :sad:

But as someone who works all day it's the only shop for me :ranger:

When I came down we had a chat about bringing it back for prep and paint but figure I can do some of it for you guys/paint shop to finish it off....
