The paint and body folks on other platforms all told me to go for it.....thought I'd throw it out here.
Definitely appreciate the friendly advice although conflicting, it makes life interesting, everyone's got different experiences.
Yup its bondo. 10 years.

Not many would guess
After a good scuff I'm going to give the idea a whirl over this cured single stage urethane, and see how it goes.
It looks great as is, but I would like a few more mils on it, and wouldn't mind a little more depth to the appearance.
At the same time/partial planning for future efforts I'm also going to experiment with 2k urethane clear shot over
cured/scuffed rattle can paint as a basecoat. Have seen many reports of success and long life, and I think this approach has potential.
I have a test part shot (A 5.7 exhaust manifold I had laying around) with some MP turquoise and some VHT hemi orange ready for that,
when the time comes, to see how it looks.
Taking a guess that... if the clear ingredient that is already in SS Urethane does not appreciably yellow, then a good quality
clear on it's own hopefully also would not yellow and will hold up.
Might be awhile before I get to this as I've been replacing metal on the car for the past couple years but am getting close
to the next stage. When I move on to bodywork and blocking, and am spraying more regularly, I can get into this without too much hassle.
