abs plastic?

Can I use body filler/ resin mixture to fill in deep cuts and scrapes on an abs piece of my interior then paint that?

you can, but depending on the paint, you may not get clean results (well more like most likely) I would consider heating the plastic up, get it back in place, and texturing it to blend againNever send your ducks to eagle school.

I found some really good epoxy from 3M, DP100. It dries super hard and clear and is paintable after 24-48 hours.

ABS is one of the friendliest plastics that you will ever run into. Painting it is no problem. There are all kinds of procedures for tying paint to plastics and they are not usually intended for ABS. The key is to use the rite primer. 1. Degrease your part with mineral spirits, paint thinner, or 3M general purpose adhesive remover. These are all basically the same product. 2. Make your repair using body filler. 3. Primer your part. 4. Paint The primer that you choose should match the type of paint that you use. If you are painting with rattle can you should use a high quality primer like Duplicolor high build followed by a sealer primer and then a texture like SEMs (or leave it smooth). Then paint and clear coat. If you plan on using a professional grade exterior paint you should use the primer that is compatible with that paint. Many newer paints are not compatible with solvent based rattle can paints and primers. Also if you are going for the smooth glossy look, get the rattle can clear coat that is made for door jams. It is easy to use and looks a mile thick. You will end up with a piece that looks and performs just like it was shot at a body shop. Make sure that your piece is actually ABS. There should be initials stamped on the back side.
