Where to get a good body filler?

[P.J.]

Hey I was just wondering if anyone knew where i could find a decent body filler. I went to advance auto and only saw the Bondo brand body filler. I know "bondo" has a bad reputation for being used by bad shade tree mechanics. So i didn't know if I should get a different brand name like from a Paint manufacturer like Dupont. if So where would i go to buy it? ANy constructive information would be Mucho Appreciated!

Automotive paint supply stores are the best places. I know there's a little autobody supplier in downtown Joliet by me that sells all the 'high-end' stuff, not just what walmart/pep-boys has.

I use an aluminum based filler or `lead` as a filler. No plastic for me. Won't crack or chip off. However working with this takes a different technique and more time.

bondo also makes a "dog hair" filler witch is a fiber glass resin filler with is awsome for filling spots in like bumpers or if you chop the heck out of your grill :). but 95% of the custom shops that i ve seen use the Bondo brand so ..... its all really if you use the filler right and take the time to prep everything
