Applying Body Filler for the First Time Ever - How to Paint Car at Home Step #5

Spending a few nights already block sanding the car has honestly been the most fun i have had restoring the honda's body. The body filler and Bondo applications have so far been effortless to use and shape. The car sat for about two days before i went ahead and started working on the fiberglass application, so i had to sand or scuff down the body panels to ensure the filler could adhere properly, basically creating a mechanical bond compared to a chemical bond, which i could have done if i had applied the filler within the 48 hours, but honestly its fine, not to much work.

So basically dont go out there thinking you need a 30 plus gallon air compressor to paint a car, you dont
