Default Is Bondo Needed for this?

Hey Guys,

A buddy of mine just scratched his passenger side rocker panel and caused this scratch. You have to get on the ground low to see it. Do you think it needs a light cover of Bondo to take smooth out the grooves in the scratch or would you just sand it and paint it with touch up?

Depends on where it is. But either way, I don't think it'll need bondo. That's something hill fill primer could handle, but since you won't be spraying that, I doubt, a little tube of glaze would do it worst case!

To deep filler will be required and best way to do it - you try feathering that and you will have a bigger mess to deal with -more pics from different angles would be helpful also

Nice that it's low. This is an easy fix on the rocker. Tape area off where it can be blended. Sand appropriately (not much). Fill with this:

. Wet sand the area. Go here for the right paint match/supplies (they also have some 'how to' vids): http://www.automotivetouchup.com/index.htm
Sorry it happened, but an easy fix.

​​​​​​​This. ^^^
In color, if possible. Also, how long and wide is damage? It's not possible to get the scale from photo.
