First time doing body work
I backed up into my buddys car a while back and fixed the hole in my fiberglass this weekend. Took a few pics thought I would share them. I'm overall happy with the work seeing how it was my first time, spent about $60 on everything needed to get the job done.
How it looked after a little sanding...

Well it is better, but still pretty rough work man. Your fiberglass resin needs more sanding, then a coat of sandable primer or first a coat of a very fine filler then primer. Then it needs to be sanded and cleaned. Then painted.

But its fiberglass, so no worries about it rusting , its kind of a hard curve to work , better to build the fiberglass almost to where you want the surface, then use the bondo to build it from there, because its easier to sand , those outside curves always drive me nuts. It took alot of trying to get from inventing a wheel, to Henry Ford.
