Bondo job -- new paint job...

I'm planning on getting a new paint job. My concern is i did a pretty large area of bonding inbetween the front driver's side fender, back half, and the driver's side door, as well as over on the passenger's side front fender near the sidemarker. When i primer this area will the bondo chip, break apart, and fall off?!?!

Might i want to replace the front fenders and the driver's side door before getting it painted or what?

It shouldn't have any problems, provided the surface was prepped right, and you have done all the steps. If you had to do quite a bit of body filler. Then sure why not.. if you can get replacement panels that are in good shape. Other wise I wouldn't worry to much about it.. Body filler is a fact of life on a car when you are working on it.

well i've seen some people bonda a car, and it looked damn good when finished and lasted, but i've seen others that done it and looked like crap, like they stated above, if you done the prep work right then you shouldnt have to worry, unless u like used 30 pounds of bondo, then i'd be worried

You tell me what you think of my bondo job:

It was about 1ft. 1/2 long between the drivers side fender and the crack of the driver's side door.
