Bondo

[dto]

it sounds like you really dont have any clue as to what is going on with body work...bondo is easy to use but if you dont know what you are doing it can turn into a nitemare...if you mix in too much hardner it will dry too fast and if you dont mix in enough it wont dry fast enough...if you put it on too think it can crack, if you put it on too thick it can crack...
you spread it on with a puddy knife (or a plastic spreader, can be had at any paint house)...you need to sand it well and make sure that it blends into the paint on the body (meaning you cant feel any lines 'cause if you feel lines then you will see lines after painted)...
if it sounds like you are going in over your head then take it to a shop and spend the bucks and have it done right.
good luck man.

What kind of car is this going on? Maybe I can help you out a little more. What type of scoop also?

You should hit it with a da first, to knock down the big ridges, then switch to a finer grit for hand sanding.

The main thing to watch for when sanding is for any scratches that may have been made by your putty applicator, if you aren't careful the edges will dig in and leave a scratch that you will have to fill in, you do not want to try and sand it out, you will end up with a low spot there.

Yes, when you are done it will be smooth and hard like metal, then prime and paint.

whats a da?

so i primer just the bondo and the fiberglass scoop, and then paint it? what about the area surrouding the bondo?

You have to sand the whole area surrounding the scoop. It is really hard to spot match paint. To get the color right you really have to sand and paint the whole part(ex. fender, hood, door) Who is going to be painting this for you?
