When painting a cab to make it looks good again and it has black laminate on it, should I remove the laminate first or just use bondo to fill in the lil dents and prime it and paint over it?
javeryh:
Remove the laminate.

Yeah, I know from bad experience about trying to get stuff like paint to stick to laminate :'(
Probably best to remove it, fill and sand, then prime.
You might check out that spray filler/primer that OND mentioned. I've seen it at pep boys locally, though I'm guessing many auto supply or painting places should have it.
jennifer:
Paint/primer will have to applied fairly thick in multiple light coats, in order to get the fill needed to compensate for the missing laminate........
and not leaving a lip/step up to the T moulding...... or relaminate thats fun too!!!!!
