Default so many freaking types of bondo, which one do i use???

I just curbed one of my rims, and I am not too familiar with the different types of Bondo. I went to Home Depot just now and the only kind I found was Bondo Painter's Putty. I told an employee what I was trying to do and whether or not they had the right kind of Bondo for it, but he had no idea what he was talking about.

Can somebody give me an exact name of what Bondo product to buy, and where I can buy it? Home Depot didn't seem to have it. Would I be able to find it at AutoZone or something?

I'm not so sure thats a good idea for the rims but I'm no expert.

That aside.

Keep in mind bondo is just a brand name there are other brands of body filler. There are different weights you'll have to research what you need. Generally you'll see it at autozone type places in pint cans with the hardner in the cap.

Yeah he did it's "bondo brand spot putty or equivalent". Thats just a spot putty no hardener. As long as its not really deep that should work ok I guess.

Go to an automotive supply store like kragen or autozone, or some sort of automotive paint supply store. If for some crazy reason none of those places have bondo brand they'll have another equivalent brand.
