Here's the route I took: I went ahead and sanded my whole car down with 400grit paper. I then filled in dents and scratches with bondo. Afte the bondo cured for 24 hours, I sanded it down to match up with the surface of the car and primed that area. I then resanded the car with 1500 grit sandpaper. It took me around 12 hours total to do this. After I got that done I got it painted for $300 and have had no problems so far with the quality of work.
Hey bro, got any pics? I was just wondering how your job came out afterwards (the prep job that is). Did you go with Maaco?
