thats fiberglass right? fiber glass can suck. i really dont have much experance in fixing it except a couple of dump truck fenders it can be a very sticky situation if the body just has some scratches or gouges use some glaze puddy the stuff with the hardner and fill them and sand flat fiber gel would work for holes. a good filler primer and lots of blocking you can make anything flat.
