Just curious here. Has anyone ever done this? Does it need to be done at a shop? Can you do it in a back yard? How would one prepare the mating surface? I would assume that it would have to be sanded down and smooth, is there anything else to be done? I am interested in this, being that I have a lot of body work to do, and if this can be done by a novice, It sounds cheaper and better in the long run than making a panel out of Bondo, which I am doing now. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks.
