The bondo is good for thicker applications and first coats.
The metal glaze is very smooth and viscous. Consistancy of pudding (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif)

You can spread the metal glaze so thin you can see through it and no pin holes.

Great for topping, like on my trunks. I sanded through to bare metal all over both of them due to little rust bubbles.

The metal glaze is applied just a little thicker than the paint on the car before sanding. Expensive, though. Around $20 a pint. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

We used about a gallon of bondo on this car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

But, about 80% of that got sanded off.

Here's the rundown on coats:

4 coats primer yesterday

tomorrow:
after block sanding and spot putty, wet sand with 400 grit.
4 coats color
4 coats clear

Another long day
