All I did was fill the spot welds with some fine glass filled bondo (swiss glass) then some minor blending with ordinary polyester type bondo, redcap, high build primer, sand, and painted black. I didn't want a gloss finish and added a little flattener for a satin finish. About the same number of miles (7k) and seven years since and no visible signs of flaws.

My car has been seemed welded everywhere so may be a little stiffer than average but has big rubber and a healthy stroker. The bondo was quite thin for me. I dont think it's thick enough to worry about unless you have a lot of movement/flex. As always good surface prep is key.

Best,
