Paint prepping fb... bondo problems
Im paint preping my car to put a fresh coat of silver on... Im using bondo to fill in some small holes and I was told to use glass bondo... Anyways everytime I spread a layer of bondo and come back and sand it down its got little holes in it and when I try to sand them down all the bondo gets sanded away leaving me right where i started so im wondering if I should only use the glass bondo to fill holes and then use a different type of bondo... I want to get out most of the minor rock chips and little chips... And i am also wondering if I should only be using a powersanded to smooth out the bondo edges and then handsand the rest???? Thanks for the help

Hello i am a paint guy and you need to use a glass filler first its called Kitty hair and it works great and (you need to use power tools) haha anyway use fiberglass filler first then go with bondo to fill glass pin holes then use a product called dolphin glaze to fill them pin hole in the bondo and then use a (high build primer) and that will get you just fine i do it everyday!!!! alot of steps but its the RIGHT WAY hope this helps and here is a few pic that ive done! and by the way the whole body is fiberglass
