Paint over Bondo

-
Isnt there a spec where filler shouldn't be more than 3/16 inch thick? max ?
Thinner the better. The fiberglass reinforced filler also has advantages other than strength, it tends to be somewhat waterproof. Filler tends to want to absorb moisture, why so important to seal it.
Mentioned above was fiberglass. The approved method is always repair with metal, but I admit I have had some long lasting luck with it.
 
No kiddings, a friend of mine had his 68 camaro redone paint and body about 15 years ago. car has been barely driven and garage kept, the paint cracked and chipped near the wheel well. I told him " keep those chips and crazy glue them on, hit it with clear, wet sand and buff..." the chips are big, quarter size. hes upset that it didnt last I said" this stuff happens sometimes..."
