Thought I would share this thread from the big forum
Stranger on street applied bondo and said just to sand and paint

If this happens to you, for the love of god don't let them touch your car

That has got to be the stupidest thing ive ever heard. I would have to be dead before iwould agree to let a stranger off the STREET bondo my car (even though it has no dints :D). Maybe if it was a respray i would let him :lol:

The funny thing is that hes actually asking people what to do. Well for starters get it to a body shop and either get it sanded and sprayed, or redone. The fact that he had it done with no intention to get it sprayed straight away is a bit silly if you ask me.
DIY is the new black!

My older brother actually did a great? job of bogging up all the dents on his first car, he just applied it over the existing paint and did not even smooth it out on application. Looked like a red car with big Pink pimples, and after a few months those big pink pimples just fell off onto the road :roll:
But wasn't as funny as when he left an old singlet he used for polishing draped over his exhaust pipe, someone on the highway had to flag him down and tell him his car was on fire!
