Which filler for TVR?

[caduceus]

I'm doing some bodywork repairs to my Chimaera prior to a full respray. What is the best filler to use for giving the best finish and ease of sanding?
Or what filler do bodyshops use for fibreglass repair? Are there different types of filler for creating shape and finishing?

I assume there is a really fine easy sand filler for the post primer stages?

Many thanks in advance

Will you be doing the painting yourself or sending the prepped shell to a bodyshop?

Although I have not completely ruled out taking the shell to a body shop, I was thinking of doing it myself. Mostly because a body shop won't guarantee the work if I give them the car already prepped. Which does make sense, but I'd be paying body shop prices without the after sales.

So for arguments sake, I'm doing it myself, provisionally.

If you do decide to get a bodyshop to do the paint ask them how they want it prepped & what filler etc they advise - you are likely to find they won't take it on otherwise.
