Body glaze if for those who do not sand well enough.
If you want to do it correctly, you will have the holes brazed in. This is a relativly simple process, but if done incorrectly can cause severe panel warpage.
Supplies:
Torch
Brazing Rods (do not get pre fluxed rods)
Flux
Bondo (or lead)
Primer
Sand paper
Grinder
Prep - wash the area thouroughly and strip off all wax.
One, grind the area approx 1.5 inches fro the hole. This will allo bondo, and brazing to stick.
Two, Heat the area using the torch and melt brazing rod into the hole. Be careful here. Too much heat will cause your panel to warp.
Three, Grind brazing smooth.
Four, apply a thin layer of bondo (or lead). Let dry
Five, sand. Start with a 180 grit and work your way up to a 400. If any brazing show through the surface of the bondo, repeat steps three four and five.
Six, apply a light coat of primer and sand lightly with a fine grit. This will show you if you have high spots that need to be sanded more, or low spots that need to be filled.
Seven, repeat steps 5 and 6 unitl you have a smooth surface.
Eight, using a 400 grit sandpaper, lightly sand the area around the the area that you used the grinder on earlier. this will allow the primer to stick.
Nine, Prime the area. be sure to mask ff and cover the area you do not wish to paint.
Ten, Lightly wetsand the panel with a fine grit sandpaper. Be sure you feather edge the primer into the paint so when it is painted, it is flawless.
Eleven, repaet 9 and 10 until your panel is smooth, and ready to paint.
Now you can either paint it yourself, or take it somewhere to have them do it.
Good Luck.
