So I am not the best at this -- I've fixed draywall holes with spackle scratches on cars cabinets and now I am trying some bondo on a coin door
Everything usually goes as planned and I get a decent result -- but I can always see my repair
so I must not be good at this and need some tips
How can I bondo something sand it and paint and the repair be invisible? Body shops do it why can't I.
Its always looks smooth feels smooth but then I paint and I can see it
my steps I did on a coin door I had
some drilled a hole in it and it was mucho rusty and dented -- so I wire brushed it down to the metal sanded it with 150 then 220 grit
epoxed a metal square on the back for the hole repair
then I bondo'd over the hole and dents, sanded again 150 then 220 -- its came out ok -- just not perfect -- I can see it even after 3 or 3 coats of spray paint
What's the autobody secret?
Should I remove the paint and start all over or can I just work over my last repair
Like I said I tried fixing scratches on cars too -- same ok result -- I need some secret power here to make my repairs invisible!
