More or less got the body filler where I want it. Is it perfect? Nope. But I don’t really have all the tools I need to do this properly nor the patience to get it much better than that. Still, unless you’re practically touching it with your nose the small imperfections aren’t noticeable. This is after one light coat to gauge how smooth the body filler is. The paint match is fantastic. I’m considering doing a complete de-badge of the entire car since I have the ability to get rid of the residual holes, as well as shaving off the embossed text on my side marker lights and giving them a very light tint.
Today I’ll put on a few more base coats and then start with the clear coat and then wetsanding, unless I decide to take off my front Mazda badge in which case I’ll start filling it in.

$40 in materials vs a $450 body shop bill. Hell yeah.

2nd photo suggests the same, especially for a front fascia.

Sanded with 400 grit... which is all covered up by the base coat in the second picture
