gotta love BONDO?!?

TOOK my car to TJ yesterday the car drives better than ever doesent over heat i sat in traffic for 2 hours with no heat on and it barely went over 220(middle) i had the electrical guy fix my starting problem,/problem of overheating/fixed my trunk (it was electrical he turned it into a mechanical)
for 60$
but the body work i was very dissapointed in i posted a thread last month when i crashed and everyone TOLD ME NOT TO GO TO TJ they know bondo
let me tell you they DO KNOW BONDO VERY WELL and tha old joke
"that willl buff right out" dont know if they knew that was a joke or what but i will post pics in the morning
the car never drove diffrent after the crash so i think its all fender,,, hood ,,,,bumper cover -ACTION going on
AND CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW HARD IT IS TO DO A BISIC PAINT JOB JUST SAME COLOR
ALL THE PEOPLE IN TIJUANA MAKE IT LOOK REAL EAZY
I HAVE A cambell housing "standard duty" automotive spray gun (hooks up to air compressor)
that has never been used
my dads camry looks like $hit so i thought i would practice on that one he said that it couldent get anyworse
