Also the 2 part bondo ( not with fiberglass, no luck with that, to hard to work with on diecast to me and I think that people who can work with it are amazing) works well for hood scoops... body kits, and custom sub woofer inclosures.. This is my know how on putty.. hope it helps out some too!
I strongly reccomend against squadron and bondo glaze, because they are one part and dry through evaporation. As the moisture evaporates they shrink. I did an experiment a few years ago, using squadron, and bondo glaze, about a year or so later it had shrunk, and cracked.
