I need to do a little 'body' work on my aluminum trailer and was wondering if I should be using some liquid aluminum or something vs the body putty sold at retailers .... I just have a few bumps than I can't seem to get straight near the left tail light

Any suggestions would be appreciated.......

 

unless you can hammer from the inside out. i'd bondo the mug.

 

Depending on how thin the aluminum I would use evercoat fe411. I'd assume its pretty thin aluminum and this product is designed to repair flexible plastic bumpers and it can also stick to aluminum. If its thick aluminum thats not going to flex much then any body filler would work.

 

Dont wanna be a thread jacker, but, i also dont wanna make a new thread. question on this too

on my rear bumper ( ap2) driver side, theres a nickel size chip in the body is there anyway i can fix this up and put some touch up paint on it or what should I do to get it fixed rather than buy a new bumper. thanks

 

It's gouged into the plastic? If so you can use poly-flex to fix it(FE411). Any body filler would stick but if it gets hit most will just crack. The poly-flex, as the name suggests is flexible when it dries just like the bumper so it shouldn't come off. Touch paint will never look right unless your at least ten feet away.

 

I wish I could post a pic but damnit im deployed ill be home in two weeks but, yes it looks like part of it chipped off and its got a couple cracks going multiple ways, noticeable if your looking for it but like i said its nickle size. If i were to do the poly flex and put some suzuka touch up paint on it, then clay, polish, wax it will it blend in the paint better or what route do you think i should take? If theres nothing much i can do i can easily leave it, i just hate having a flaw like that.
