Hey everybody i own a 1980 gs550e that i'm sanding the tank down for a new paint job but i'm not sure what to use on my 2 small dings. One is dime sized the other is quarter sized. Is Bondo the best on a metal tank? What has worked for all of you? Thanks for your replys

I used "filler primer" on my skunk. Takes a bit longer to get the thickness but is easier to get a good finish than with bondo.
Bondo would work fine though.

On a whim, I bought one of those "Pops a Dent" gizmos that was on clearance in an Autozone for $9.95 (half price). I'll be damned if it didn't work pretty well.
It doesn't totally remove all dents, but it certainly reduces their depth and diameter, to make for easier filling. A couple dents it pretty much removed completely.
After using it for about fiteen dents on four different tanks (and my truck), the threads on the rods were pretty much stripped. Overall though, it was definitely worth $10.sigpic

Chef used one of those with some success too. Mine were too shallow to benefit from that, you could only see in certain light.1980 GS1000G - Sold

If you're going to use filler, don't use Bondo. Get some good 2 part filler. Bondo is garbage.Comment
