you need to try stuff called LAB METAL if you are going to get powdercoating done and leading or brass filler for chrome

Both work off of charging the metal. It has to be metal for the product to adhere to it. Body filler will not work. James has some good recommendations Or ALOT of welding and grinding.

its a lot like jb weld but its not an epoxy i do powder coating we use this lab metal a lot we get it from a company called Fastenal its a little pricey but well worth it as long as the powder coater knows what they are doing i would get a hold of the powder coater you are going to use and see what they use but here is a link to the lab metal

what about "all metal"? we use that at our shop for some work. goes on HOT but is like lead when sanding...might be another option. forgot the brand.
