How to Use Bondo for Car Repair Projects

For small touch-up paint jobs, you can often just use primer, paint, and clear coat, but if you have deep scratches, dings, or even a small hole in your vehicle, you'll need body filler to create a solid, sturdy, and flat surface for your repair. If you try to paint over issues like these without using body filler, the paint will just make the damage more obvious. But using Bondo body filler can give you the smoothest possible surface for your automotive paint, and learning how to apply Bondo to a car is easier than you might think.
