Yes, you can. Just follow the instructions...better yet, read them first then put the kit on. It'll make it easier instead of stopping every so often to see how to do something.

If you plan on molding it to the contours of the body, then I would let a pro do it, especially since you're asking about how easy/hard it'll be, lol. No offense bro, just what I would do if I can't do something.. It takes a lot of work and patience and an eye and feel for it to be done right. Knowledge of body work is recommended but not needed....but preferred, or you will get bad reflections of light of the painted surface and it will stand out, even a tiny area.
It's up to you though...you gotta start somewhere, right?

ya silvers got a good point. while bondo actually isnt that difficult to work with if you mix the bondo/hardener ratio correctly, it does take a lot of work and depending on the color you paint it.....especially black.... the paint will show every mistake and imperfection you made. im actually doing some rust repair on my venge and i have put about 5 or 6 hours of work into it and im only about half way done because the smearing and filling part is the easy part......its the sanding and final shaping part that gets rough. so i would recommend if you have the $$ and dont want the hassle of doin it yourself take silvers advice and have a pro do the work
