Hey, I've been checking out the posts on the bondo/resin/hardener idea and decided to give it a try. I mixed 1 part Rage gold to 1 part polyester resin. Mixed it up to the consistency of mustard, then when its completely mixed together I added a small amount of the creme hardener that came with the Rage. Mixed well and applied with a paint brush. I layed the door panel out flat on my bench and it went on super smooth and easy, I was also able to get into the tight spots and contours well! And it self levelled!!! I let it set for 3 hrs and went back to check on it. It is completely hardened and looks smooth as glass, very little sanding will be needed.

I'll post some pics tomorrow when I get my camera out.Mixing Bondo, Resin, and Acetone? - Page 2 -- posted image.

In a world full of copycats, it's great to be an original!

personally I like to get the surface smooth and either use Polyester primer filler or for a super expensive paint job use House of Kolors KP21A/B to get it smooth as glass. Both of these products are filling/high build primers to achieve final bild and smoothness.

1hot944 - were you able to get the pix?  I'm really interested in this (I'll be building new door panels and kick panels very soon).

us_test It worked out really well, very little sanding needed. If your door panels or kicks are going to have any tight spots or crevaces you might want to try it!

I like Rage Gold but I love Dolphin Glaze. Its a spray body filler that self levels and doesn't require alot of finishing work. But for those few pin holes just get some 3m Finishing Putty and skim over it.

1hot944 - I saw your webpage everything looks good.   I'll give this a shot this weekend.  I just did some sound deadening on the door panels (I'll keep the stock on for a bit while I get new ones) using WalMart undercoating spray $2.68 per can (I have a detailed post about this).  Very recommended product.
