Hey all, and thanks in advance for any answers to my questions. I have seen this stuff used, but have never been able to locate it. I have heard it called "liquid plastic" or "rigid filler." This site shows what it looks like: https://www.hzemall.com/1989_dodge_console_mold.htm Also, after using this filler, I have seen people use a certain texture to create a "pebble effect", or to match the look of the factory texture. Is this a paint/texture combo, or do you texture and then paint? Could anyone please tell me where to find these materials? ------------- davedyer79

You can find the plastic filler/rigid plastic repair stuff here: https://www.autotoolmart.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_main.html?p_catid=211&sid=fg1x10mV0GD8nL-25103487951.2e I'm not sure how to make the texture and haven't used this stuff myself, but you do want to buy the applicator gun when you buy the plastic filler. -------------

yes, i asked Tim at the Hzmall how he did this and it is a texture spray made by SEM. you can create different textures by building up the layers or sanding them down.

The product I was referring to is made by Dominion Sureseal and it is called Ridgid Filler. I have not used the plastic filler mentioned above but that stuff uses a special gun, the stuff I use is just a 2 part compound. Hope that helps ------------- Tim Baillie

Try Bodywork/Bodyshop supply stores, any auto paint supply store carries the spray. Also try this place

I live in Southern California and this place has lots of stuff like Duraglass/Maraglass and Rage Gold bodyfiller by Evercoat. They probably sell fiberglass supplies and the liquid plastic too. https://www.finishmaster.com/ -------------  Plan, Research, Do

You can get both products at an auto body supplier. These are the guys that supply body shops. Check your Yellow Pages. SEM and 3M both make a texture spray which is around $15. The liquid plastic is also made by several companies. I get the 3M Rigid Parts Epoxy, Automix part 05883. It's about $25 for a kit.

i got mine from a local body shop. they had it at their warehouse so i got it the next day. its the dominion sureseal and it works great. someone else makes it too but you have to buy the gun for it.

The Automix is similar to the Dominion product and doesn't require a gun. The Duramix line does require a gun and there are several products available in that line.

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I kinda gave up on this thread until I ran across it again trying to do some research. I found the liquid plastic at my local body shop after hours of explaining what it is. I finally brought my laptop down and showed them the hzemall website and they knew exactely what is was. I ordered the texture grain from 3M, and finished my project. I would recommend testing the texture grain before spraying it on your final project. Anyway, I would have never done this without the help of this site. Thanks again to all, and it's about time "hzemall" joins us "newbies"!!!!!!!!
