am about to repaint my exhaust from my mk1,but before i do can any one tell me the best way to repair a few scratches and small dents before repainting.
ive been told to use a "liquid metal"filler but am sure this has been done before and it started to react once it got up to temp.
it may be a real simple question for a pro but any help would be great.

I did a quick job using some old JB weld and the Plasticote BBQ paint seems ok on it so far.
I also used it to repair that common little pin hole you get blowing in the middle underneath, with mixed results, that bit really needs welding.

cheers museuman,been asking around and epoxy metal filler will do the job,can purchase this from halfords if anyone is interested.
it can be sanded down when set than over painted.

A more permanent solution could be to have it braized,
