color of body filler

[48ford]

Hi All,
Back in the 70-80s you could get different colored hardeners for your filler ,but now I only find it in pink.
By changing the color with the coats you could really tell where you were low or high.
and now with my old eyes I need all the help I can get.
so Irene told me to try mixing in food color with the hardener,It may work,may not.
any one got other ideas?
thanks Russ

i was at the parts plus store yesterday and they had 4 different colors of hardener    hope that helps

NAPA has it in Blue.

When we packaged hardener at the chemical plant I worked in, we used an oil based dye.  I believe food coloring is alcohol based I would worry about it bleeding into the paint.

You could just guide coat the filler before sanding.

I like white. I can then tell what the mix looks like. This muddy red when mixed with Dura-Glass doesn't tell you much.

Try the 3M black powder guide coat, it works good, very easy to use. Doesn't clog your sandpaper like spray paint.
