[OLDE ENGLISH]

those gray little patches you got going around... are those bondo used to fix dents? or what?

curious, venturing to do some body work but dont know whats needed

[JDMBeau]

the ones on the door are bondo covered with dupont filler primer.

the one on the rear 1/4 there was a creased dent. welded things to it and pulled it out, then swipped bondo over the creased part, then sprayed filler primer.

bondo isnt used for deep dents. if you try to use it, then it will crack. its ment to use over real shallow dents. you shouldnt be able to really hear any "dead spots" when knocking.

[OLDE ENGLISH]

is sanding the car down with 120 grit before paintin it?
