Bondo should work good for those project but just take a marker and circle all the dips then get mixed up bondo and put dots of it on and dont wipe with a spreader or nething. Let it all dry do its like a bump and then sand it down.
dream it, build it, fiberglass it

thanks guys for the help with my "dimple" plague sorry for the vague description in the begining but never the less I got it done. Pjon, you hit it right on the head that pic was exactly what I was talking about. Anyway my new question is there anything else I should do to prep for painting? I've finnished sanding completly all the way through 2000g wet. Now is there anything else I should do prior to paint for me to get the best result. Now I know about getting a sandable primer and sanding that as well to a baby butt smooth finnish, is there anything I'm missing? Thanks in advance

Clean!  Make sure the surface is clean and the area you are spraying are clean, more than a few times one of my kids finger prints surfaced after I started painting and dust is always a problem.

I like to use an etching primer.

Just make sure that you are not sanding with anything much over a 240 grit paper, the primer and the paint need something to hold to.

Number 1 Rule working with bondo.....minamize to a minimun......when you put it on..use single edge razor blades,  do areas at a time, soon as it starts to kick off on part..scrape off with blade to an almost flush....dont take to much(you'll be reappling it).should take a few sanding strokes....and always wet sand whenever possible, sandpaper cuts alot quicker, and it dont get clogged up on you. a few tips for yea.....can ask me just bout anything, about composites/fiberglass/tooling.
