    Factory bondo???

    That makes sense. I do not recall seeing any primer. From the looks of other places on the truck, GM didnt even scuff the AF blue before the OD green.

    Factory bondo???

    Working on one of two rust/ chipped paint areas on my truck. Digging into the paint, it looks like GM applied a healthy coat of body filler over bare metal, then a coat of AF blue paint, and then a final coat of OD green. Would it be normal for the factory to apply body fillers to a vehicle...
