lol great question.

All it does it take time. You may have to redo it but body-work is directly proportional to the amount of time you spend getting it right. The only way to decrease that time is experience.

How bad is it?

Like a Doctor or Nurse or something. After that, the body work should be easy.

I think this question is too broad, same as asking how hard it is too work on cars...

Patience is one thing, but without actual knowledge you're not getting anywhere, there are wrong and right ways to do everything. Experience is obviously a plus but it should be "good" experience. There are backyard mechanics that have been fixing stuff for years who still cant get simplest things done right. For instance take jiffy lube people. They change oil day in and day out, and yet still manage to over tighten and strip two out of three drain bolts

Anyway i 've wasted enough of your time, all i got to say learn the right way to do it the first time. Read Read Read then practice practice practice

Bondo sucks, use Evercoat Rage Gold, I mean unless you don't really care too much about the quality.

Depending on what you want, if you want a legit job best shot is taking it to someone with all the correct tools.

Default Re: how hard is it to do body work

just remember..

-its easier to wipe on, then it is to sand off... dont over fill the space, use what feels to be enough, sand and then check... re-apply as needed..

-make sure if its a hole u make a "valley" to fill so that it sticks and wont pop off..

pm me ur location, if ur close maybe i can come give u some pointers on tools to use, etc.

good luck
