Will bondo stick on my trunklid with 140dbz to it?

Well recently some f@g just hit and run my car and left a big dent in my trunk. Now I have a big dent and don't want to get a new trunk lid because I have 2 layers of deadener on it already. So my question is if I have a body shop pull out the dent, then bondo it to make it look good will the bondo stick to it when i bump up my music. I think I am hitting around 140db -ish.

if the dent is pulled and the just skin it with bondo you will be fine. Just dont try to fill the dent with the bondo.

If they pull the dent , then sand it to bare metal before applying the filler. Yes with out a doubt . If they try and apply it over a painted surface, nope. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

ust dont try to fill the dent with the bondo.

Lol, that's what I thought you were going to do at first.

If I was you, I'd but the fixa-dent or dent king or whatever those things are called (I have one, they kinda work buy they don't competely pop it out) then bondo and sand it youself, then take the trunk lid to a shop to be painted. You'd save alot on costs.

* Do not sand to bare metal.

The catalyzed primer that's on the metal now was baked on in manufacturing, and is stuck to the metal muuuch better than your half-assed too-thick bondo job. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

( No offense, bondo's just like that. )

I'm goign to get my car painted along with it when they fix the dent, What should i do? Tell them to sand off my OEM paint first then pull it out and bondo or should I tell them to pull the dent, bondo, and then paint it the new color?

They're going to have to block it all out before they paint anyway

(read: sand)

Your best bet is to get that bondo as close to perfect as you can muster, and let them do the rest.

Pop your dent, scuff your oem paint with a medium-low grit, apply very thin layers of bondo, as few as possible; Then throw some 600grit on a long flat surface and do your best to level it out.

I'd point it out to 'em before they start prepwork, they may finesse it a little for you.
