Question, I am having to repair a spot on the bonnet where the strut top broke busted and left a dent. I had the dent knocked down but there was a low spot. I have now bogged the low but when I sanded the area, the bogged edge is lower than the old painted edge. It's like the bog is softer than the surrounding paint and rubs away quicker.
I have now layered on plenty of primer and will rub the edge out tomorrow, but I was thinking this can't be the way panel shops do it surely? Should I have used a spray putty, because it is harder than bog? Or do I just level it out with thick primer, and work the edge down, then add more primer as needed. I'm concerned too much primer will crack over time. I had the same issue when I painted the tub side rails. There was an existing patch of bog that did the same thing and it took a lot of feathering out, plus lot of primer to make it look good.
