Not everyone can afford to spend 15k+ on paint and body work for a proper show car finish. Thats why people often go the DIY route. I hope these help anyone wanting to DIY their own cars. Knowledge is power folks, use it to your advantage!
Just wanted to say before anyone tries to correct us, that if you are trying to fill an area 3/8 in. Or deeper. This is not the method recommended.
-(Metal panels) Metal work is required to bring the panel closer to the original shape before adding body filler.
-(fiberglass panels) fiberglass work may be suggested fiberglass doesnt get dented as easy as metal if at all, but if adding too much filler attempting to repair fiberglass may be counterintuitive as it can weigh down the piece and not actually fix issues like cracks
