My 1st attempt at body work and paint

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.
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.
