    Front driver side fender patch is finished with bondo. I have some body work on it to smooth it out then I'll put some spotting putty on and get it ready for paint.
    The bed patch needs about 2-3 more coats of bondo then finishing work.
    Paint I'm open to suggestions. I also have a spot on the from fender on top where the clear coat is peeling off an was wondering if I could sand it down and get the flaking off clear off and reclear that area. My grandpa had that ideA.

    well I'm going to call some places and see of they have na or can mix it up. If that doesn't look good then i think I'm going with some black rattle cans and do a two tone. What do you think?

    Filler is really meant to be used just as a skimmer and never really thicker than 1-2 dimes at most. It's wavy because the metal behind it got messed up. Try to fix the metal an then skim coat an then use a long block to start blocking it and that'll fix your issues
