o.k
im buying a eg that have a little quarter panel damage. the previous owner already hit it from the other side so now there are just bumps all over the quarter panel. my question is, how hard is it to bondo how much would it cost me

 

wrong forum. this belongs In paint and body

but to let you know depending on how high those dimples are, you want the smoothest surface you can possibly get by whatever method you want to use hammer and dolly just hitting it with a hammer. but you would need to grind down the are about 6inches past the damage all the way around mix your mud then lay it on let it dry and use the extra 6icnes as a guide to sand down to desired shape. its really time consuming to get good results if you dont really know what your doing.

 

sand the dimples down, i prefer fiberglass than traditional bond as of ease to layt compared to plastic epoxy based ****, but its up to you, body work is the easiest thing to do on a car by far


welllllllllllll at least for me, been working on cars for 6 years hot rodding em for 5


EDIT: whiteonrice it says in your sig you want to buy any k20 swapped honda..........how about a built k24a1 with rsx oiling system hybrid mounts, and a2 head with a 6 speed, willing to trade straight up for an s2000 or sell for 17 grand

its an ej1, im going to turbo it soon just dont know which exhuast to go if i manage to turbo it and put the nitrous in it before i sell it i want 22k for it, it will be dyno tuned by eugne from prostreet (he was on that mtv true life im a street racer show)

Lol, yeah, its like an art. Its easy to paint if your Van Gogh, and its easy to play guitar if your Van Halen too lol.

Really it just takes practice, so go ahead and try if you feel like it. You can start on an old (or junkyard) fender first and get some confidence that way.

 

Yupp I hate when people be like I'am going to paint this like nothing,and there a noob,not trying to be like a *** but go ahead and try bet you would run it

NOT REALLY ITS MORE OF A PRACTICE THING, ITS REALLY EASY TO LAY BONDO AND PRIMER BUT COLOR MATCHING ETC IS HARD


but then agin alot of honda kids cant even bolt an intake on without asking someone how shakes head this scene is lame

 

It might be easy to lay "Bondo" on a flat surface, but try it when you are reconstructing a panel with multiple bodylines. There is a technique, and it takes a lot of practice. I've seen a lot of bodymen with 15+ years experience do horrible straightening work. Either you got it, or you don't.
