Even tho I'm not a fella :wink:

I'll give you my advice by saying browse this website http://www.justanothermini.com The guy on that site claims to know what he's talking about :wink: OR do an ausmini search on prep cause there are loads on threads on paint prep..

(only cause some members hate people posting the same topics and asking the same questions :lol: )

I'm preping my 850 at the moment myself..

BOG - Mix, skim fill, block back with coarse paper, skim fill again, block back...etc. Don't fill any dent in one go - you won't get it right. Use a really wide filler tool - not a pissy little plastic thing you get with some brands of BOG.

DENTS - If you can get behind them, use a panel beaters kit ($25 from Supa Cr@p) to tap out the dents. Don't expect to get them perfect. Aim to tap them out enough for skim filling. Heating the panel with an OXY torch can help tap out creases, but go easy, or you can warp large flat panels.
