I have to second the use of SPI. I've used DuPont products on most of my hobby projects until an introduction to SPI last summer. The epoxy is s-o-o-o-o much better then the DuPont undercoats. The 2K is very nice as well - I'm not in the same league as Shine to only go with the epoxy as the single prime coat tho the SPI epoxy sands as nicely as the 2K. My top coat will still be DuPont as SPI is still limited in color choices tho they have been reported as great to use.

Evercoat Rage is a more user friendly filler then any other that I have used and seems to be the current user's standard
