I know my local paint store their house brand is actually rage in a different can. It runs down the same line just a different packaging. The price is about 60% of rage too. You might want to see if your local supply house has a house brand and who makes it.

on my current project , I was nearly complete but needed a couple of quarts to finish it.. Bought some Bondo at Advance... WOW what a Pain to finish out. By the time I got it sanded down, the money I didn't spend for Rage was quickly replaced by money on Sandpaper, electricity for the air compressor, time spent sanding and then... it had tons of pinholes that took extra time and material to fix.. bottom line, spend the money...Rage Gold. Say NO to

I use Evercoat Lightweight filler, costs about 15 at the local carquest. I can't justify spending 50 plus when 90% of it ends up as dust on the floor.

Every guy is going to have their go-to product...As far as non metallic fillers go, I like Rage Xtreme. it's easy to work with and to finish out. it covers easier than Bondo. you dont have to worry so much about the pin holes like you do with actual bondo. I feel that it is well worth the price for the time and frustration it saves.

I have recently started using Evercoat's Quantum line of fillers, and absolutely love it. It uses temperature specific catalyst instead of the regular old hardener, and more of it. (2 tubes to a half gallon) It can easily be sanded with 120 grit paper, 80 grit makes it real easy. Evercoat Quantum Filler
Quantum is definitely the best filler I've ever used. Sands like butter and you don't need a glaze or finishing putty because it will finish out perfectly. It's also different because it's a hybrid epoxy/polyester filler, so it can go direct to metal. All the epoxy-prime-before-bodywork fanboys will disagree, but since it can there is no reason not to do it.
