Just thought id share my 1st attempts. Paint looks good, a little orange peely, but only cost me 250 to do. Body work... i shouldnt try again haha.
Get 80-2000 sand paper. I found that 1k doesnt smooth it out enough. The bondo can lies about how much hardener to use. A few drops of it at most. A thin piece of cardboard (like a cereal box) makes a good smoother. I got impatient and mine looks like crap, but with enough time i couldve made it much smoother.Hey man you got it done. Nobody does it best first time around. Getting ready to tackle some major body work myself. Kinda scared but can't really afford to pay for professional work so I gotta make it happen. Kudos for jumping in there.

What kinda paint did you use.Thanks Coastie,
My work is gonna involve welding in a bunch of new metal. I know it will need some filler but hopefully a minimum amount. Been watching all the videos I can find and there are about as many different methods as there are people willing to share. I have some spare panels that I think Im gonna practice on before I get to the real deal. Wish me luck!!!
I used the enamel semi gloss from sherwin williams automotive. Its like 70 a gallon. I wanted to do a royal purple but that was 300 a gallon...What kinda paint did you use.

Don't trash other people'' aspirations...
Has some bad bondo to cover up a dent,
where the **** did i trash the work? get your head out of your ******* ***.... he mentions the bondo in his sale ad. so instead of making people wonder how much bondo is actually in it ,it may be nice to show them how much is or isn't in it..
directly from his ad jackass....
