I Thought This Metal Door Was Ruined… Until This Fix

What happens here

After the initial application, reassess the door. For larger or deeper dents and areas where the first layer of Bondo may have shrunk during drying, apply additional coats of Bondo glazing putty. For long or deep indentations, skim a heavier layer of putty to ensure complete filling and a smooth transition. Allow the putty to dry completely until it exhibits a light red/pinkish color, indicating it's ready for sanding. Avoid sanding too soon, as this can load up and ruin your abrasive paper.

Goal: Completely fill all remaining imperfections and allow Bondo to cure.

there's quite a few dings on this door. And I can make this door look way better with just a little bit of effort. A long ding right here. Watch this one. Right there. Skim that pretty heavy. Ding there. Ding there. There. It dries really fast. I'll get myself some more. I don't like to wear sunglasses when I video just so you can see my eyes when I'm talking to you. But, I got to wear sunglasses cuz it's so bright over here. I can't even see without them. Not sure how a door gets this dinged up. Maybe kids in the backyard throwing balls at it. Somebody hitting golf balls at it. I don't know. This is like crazy. So, that's what it looks like. There's Yeah, there's some spits on here. Whoever sprayed didn't practice good technique starting and stopping off the door. Those will probably sand out. So, we'll let that dry. The Bondo glazing putty dries really, really fast. It starts to get this kind of light red pinkish color when it's dry. What you don't want to do is sand it too soon cuz if you sand it too soon on like heavy dings, it'll load up your abrasive and ruin your abrasive. So, I'm going to let that set. We're going to go off and then we'll come back and sand it.
