Is it better to put bondo over bare metal or prime first.
I'm not a body work guru, but plan to be one soon (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

There was a writeup on this recently. As I recall, the gist of the argument was to primer, bondo, and primer again. This allowed the bondo to bond better and caused less shrinking or cracking later. I believe the topic was in regards to a fully stripped shell that needs to be primered fully. Bodywork would be done over the primer, then a final primer coat would go on before the top coats.
