Body filler is my weakness. i dont know how many layers of bodyfiller i used per dent to get it straight when i first started on my car. i’d put a layer on and then sand 96% of it off, repeat. im getting better and faster at it and i’m finally making some decent progress on my car. should be in nighthawk black pearl in no time ❌ (dont hold your breath because you’ll more than likely passout)
