What do you think I should do to repair this guys. Its on the hood. I put my finger in for scale. Its deep, it even dented it a little bit.

damn that a deep rock hit I'd try Langka and see what that does good luck!!

acblue94 · 10-03-2007, 03:39 PM

It hit hard, down here in Miami it rains rocks....I hate driving in this city. Theres always construction. On the beach its even worst...Whats Langka?

acblue94 · 10-03-2007, 04:03 PM

Im thinking to apply a dab of Bondo to even out the surface, to fill it in. Then try Langka...

acblue94 · 10-05-2007, 08:23 AM
