1. Roughen the damaged panel surface with a disc sander to a radius of approximately four inches (10

cm) around the damaged area.

2. Fill all gouges and other depressions in the panel with body filler to the level of the panel surface.

Allow the body filler to harden at room temperature and sand it smooth. If the filler shrinks when

setting, repeat the application to raise the level of the filled area to the level of the panel surface.
