Take it down to bare metal to see what's under there. It's not looking pretty

I've seen it before, looked exactly like that. There was about 1/4th inch of bondo under the surface filling a large dent.

Re: Bad Bondo job?

all of the above , bondo/body filler is a good tool . but , should be used only for minor dings . surface prep. is a big thing , putting on too thick is a big thing , too much hardner is a big thing . clean it all off , smooth out bare metal is best you can . i assume you are going to repair yourself . ask some friends for advice . do some research on body repair , don't get in a hurry . most work can be done with common hand tools . just take your time and do it right . there is never enough time , but always time enough to do it over . good luck .
