If you've never used it make sure you get instructions on mixing and sanding. You'll need to start sanding before it fully cures. There are also putty's used in automotive applications you might be able to find. No mixing and easier to sand, but they don't have the adhesion of Bondo so you gotta be a little more carefull when sanding. 2)Spray primer and check for any dings that were missed. Use your filler again and re-prime or use your apathy and let 'em go. 3)Have fun. Constantly curving surface brings a whole new set of challenges and possibilities, so have fun with it. Hope that helps. There may be other ways, but that's what I've done. That's spot on :D
