Any book out there on sanding and bondo will tell more than the following.

Sorry, but i can't recommend any books. I mostly learned, what little i do know about body work, from actually watching people do it. You could probably search the internet and get some good articles on how to. You can find out just about anyting on the internet. Also, if i'm not mistaken, the directions on the can of bondo will give you some of the info you'll need. Getting a body to look good for painting takes a lot of time, practice and know how. There was a post above, not to use bondo. That's the only thing i've ever seen people use to cover small dings with, while prepping for paint. I also fixed huge dents in some of my cars with bondo, after drilling holes and pulling with a dent puller. Yea, i'm sure if you wanted it to be perfect, you would need to replace the whole door, fender, etc.
