When I worked at a National Park Lodge, I would skim with bondo and follow up with 1/16 of spackle or less. I would have it painted and be out in less than 1 hour. Thick spackle takes a long time to dry, and shrinks much more than drywall mud. Thin coats take much less time to dry, and sand better than plaster, Durabond or Bondo. Durabond is quick setting drywall compound that is mixed with water like plaster, but designed for drywall. It does not sand well, although there are easy sand types.
I mention this because as a car guy, you might have bondo kicking around, and with a good seal on the can, it never goes bad. There are also quick setting plaster type products for this that come in small containers. Something for everyone.
