The first and perhaps most important step is to properly prepare the surrounding surfaces so you get a good bond. The resins and body fillers are available at most autoparts stores and hardware stores. Following the directions on the container, mix a small amount. Practice before applying to your car.

Start by removing any loose paint or oxidation with sandpaper. Work from a lower grit up to about 100 or 200. Try to make the surface as level as possible. Next clean the area with a degreaser. Then mix and apply the bondo. Some brands may recommend a paint primer before application. Then sand and re-apply until smooth and level.
