I did a set of quarter panels and a door skin lower patch with the 3m stuff. It worked well. The door panels were quite a lesson. 10 minutes for the panel bonding one and 3 hours for the welded one. The quarters turned out excellent until the paint guy intentionally sanded down my body work because he was pissed he didnt get the whole job. You can see where I used two screws to hold the panel until the 100 or so magnets held the rest in place. I swear by hard drive magnets for panel bonding adhesive. How do I know it was a great job? My 10 closest friends who all bust balls all looked at the job, ran their hands over it a million ways, and now all ask for help with their little body jobs.

I was also wondering about the durability of the panel bonding adhesive if only painted over. We all know the seam sealer has a life expectancy of a couple decades, but no one knows the panel bonding life expectancy.
