you need bondo to fill in all those pit holes.

Its the last step before painting, primer and what not.

Ragegold is better

ya, almost anything is better than Bondo, try mixing it will a little acetone to make it sloppy like paint and brush it on, fills in the pin-holes better.

bondo stage is the last stage before the primer/painting stage.

you slap on a coat of "bondo" auto body filler with a plastic blade.

Let it dry, use a grater to coarse sand, then sand with paper.

then primer
