yeah you have to use a body filler than you have to sand it out! you have to put lots of time in it! cuz you want to be smooth and even! dont forget to put primer after for the paint!

Pull off the mouldings
Sand down to bare metal with a 80grit sandpaper bondo, or body filler, whatever you have SAND-SAND-SAND start with a 80grit, move to 120grit, then finish off with a 300grit. I'm starting this on my car when the weather warms up.

u can use bodyfiller but i prefere 2 use fiberglass, it goes over nice and easy and if u choose 2 use bodyfiller u'll see one of the probs with it, it likes 2 drip down inside the door and takes a longer time to do it.

What the hell!!!
NEVER USE BONDO FOR MAJOR BODY WORK LIKE SHAVING!!! Weld some metal to round out the spot for the molding, and then use a little bit of bondo to smooth it up. Fiberglass also works nicely.

i like marglass the shit is nice. and it is thick but i agree welding is the best way but if you arnt skilled you will warp the thin metal on your door and that aint good.

if u want all metal, fill it in with weld and grind all thats sticking out off, haha nah i'm j/p but i'm sticking with using fiberglass, i love it and its not hard 2 sand, well for me anyways, i got body files and stuff so that helps and sanding just smoothes it out for me

DONT use just bondo. i tried this and if u push on it when its done it pops out. it will fall out anyways sooner or later. Im still working on techniques to fill the damn holes in.

come on you guys.....ok if you were to use fiberglass you WILL NEED to put something behind it unless you want to replace it all of the time....
The reason for it is beacause....well think of it like this you are covering up a hole with a peice of paper....sure it looks good but as soon as it get bumped into......POOF broken....so I would either put in something behind it or weld something in there....just my 2 cents
