#1 Does the Heater Box get hot?

Post by CTDavies » Thu Nov 20, 2014 3:41 pm

My heater box is slightly pitted on the outside, but instead of getting a new one I want to repaint it and fill the pitting with Bondo body filler or something similar. However, if the heater box gets very hot when in use the filler and paint might bubble, damaging the surface. So my question is, does the heater box get very hot when in use? Too hot for a body filler to cope with?
Thanks for your help. Chris

It doesn't get that hot. You'll be fine with your plan.
