Can body filler be applied directly to car paint?

It's best to let the newly painted car dry indoors for a period of time before driving it out. Generally, avoid contact with water for two days after painting in high temperatures. Relevant paint repair precautions are as follows: 1. Primer: The base must be completely dry before applying clear coat, otherwise the paint surface may lose gloss. 2. Color paint: Quick repairs must use single-component color paint. 3. Clear coat: The spraying pressure should not be too high (2-2.5KPa). Let each coat sit for 1-2 minutes, depending on the surrounding temperature during spraying - lower temperatures require longer sitting times, while higher temperatures require shorter times. The spraying thickness should be 1.5-2 cm and not too thick, otherwise it may not dry easily. After applying clear coat, let it sit for 5 minutes before baking. 4. Baking: The UV lamp should be 20-25 cm away from the part. Too far away will slow curing, while too close will cause fast curing but also fast shrinkage, leading to wrinkles and loss of gloss. For convex, concave, and curved parts, adjust the lamp angle according to the shape without missing any spots. If there's a power outage or the lamp is turned off during UV baking, don't turn it back on immediately - wait a few minutes for the lamp to cool down before restarting. UV rays can harm eyes, so wear specialized protective masks or glasses during operation.
