I'm planning on doing some basic bodywork myself before turning it over to a professional for either paint or wrap. Looking for advice from fellow Canadians on the best place to source various auto body supplies for a MKIV build, such as:

  • 3M Marine High Strength Repair Filler (HSRF)
  • Evercoat Rage Gold Body Filler
  • Sanding blocks, discs
  • Degreasers / cleaners
  • *LizardSkin thermal and sound coatings by Mascoat
  • Other?


Do most people get these products directly from the manufacturer (OEM)? Auto chains like UAP/NAPA or PartSource? A local retailer? A warehouse distributor like PPG? Even Amazon? *Nisku Industrial Coatings is supposedly the only supplier for Lizardskin by Mascoat; are there other choices? I'm in the Edmonton area and I don't mind paying a little extra to buy local.


Thanks,

-Derek
