My 1st attempt at body work and paint

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.

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!!!
