Bondo is all about time and patience Frank. It's easy to slap it on but to get a surface match is the hard part. So, yes and no if you've never used it before. I've only used it on small things but not on body panels...haven't needed to yet

Thats pretty simple.........its like John said though..patience is a virtue with Bondo Im getting my avenger ready for paint next weekend and I stripped all the door guards and emblems...etc etc etc.

When tackling holes on vehicles, there is no need to tape from the backside or anything.....the trick is to MAKE A LEVEL INDENTATION (I spell that right? OVER THE HOLE...essentially what youre doing is making a small valley with the hole in the middle.....rough it up with 60 grit--preferably down to the metal, but not excessively to avoid rust.....and bondo away.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL THE TOOLS...I.E. A SANDBAR,SANDPAPER IN MULTIPLE GRITS, A BONDO PUTTY APPLICATION TOOL ETC. I will try to find a good link to something that will help you out....the only links I have are for my stereo stuff .
