project shave
 

So I'm looking to shave my hatch spoiler and fix the lil rust. To beging with i bearly know anything about painting but i have read alot of diy bondo/painting threads and now im practising on a spare hatch from another car that was sitting around heres how i went with it.
First i took the elbem off and sanded the area and put the bondo over the holes.

Ok now i know im missing alot of sanding steps and ----, i only used 2 differnet grits of sand, the first was like 1500 i think to get the paint off ,and the bondo, then some low grit like 300 or something to event out the first coat of paint. Leave me some tips and stuff I'm missing thanks
:laugh1:

it's hard to make out those pics. bondo really isn't recomended for filling holes. fibreglass would've worked better and welding it in would've worked best. bondo is weak and it'll crack from vibrations. short strand kitty hair might do the trick.

use 300 to get the old stuff off, and to smoothen out the bondo i'd use 400 then 800 and the 1500 to wetsand the paint.

---- it, i think im just gonna take it to a body shop and have them weld it.

those are going to fall out man
at least dent around the hole so there is for surface to bond to
