Durability of bondo applied in small amounts I am getting my car repainted due to a parking error of one of my co-worker here. I just was wondering about the durability of bondo applied in small patches since I saw my car at the gm dealership all sanded up and preped it was pretty hard to see actually. Other then that I will let you guys know how it went. It's getting painted today actually. One not so rare repainted bright green metallic Z.

Also, if this was an insurance claim and you went to a shop that the insurance company recommended then you should have a lifetime warranty from the insurance company.
SSZSLP is correct "Bondo" is just a brand. It is actually a plastic filler that is used. If done properly you should not have any problems whatsoever. People don't realize that you car from the factory has filler on it.
Make sure when you pickup your car to check over it very closely. If there is anything wrong get it fixed right then.

Thx guys I appreciate the info. The insurance company wanted me to pick up some half decent guys so I went with my own garage that I trust way more. So the insurance can't garantee the work done but I still got the garantee the gm dealership does tho and that should good enough right ? It's the best around town and the only place I could fully trust them with my baby

Not a problem.Yea you really have to be careful these days with which shop you pick to do body work,if you have seen their work and know them fairly well,you shouldn't have a problem
