My cowling has a chip in it from the previous owner... he then painted over it.... can I fill this area in with something like bondo? and then paint the cowling?

Put a decal over it. See post above for decal.
I intend to redo the decals... already talked to the Iguana a little bit.. I want to fix this and paint it before the decals though
Marine tex will get the job done...its easy to work with, finishes smooth as silk

I knocked a hole in my cowling and used bondo to fill in a pretty big portion of the hole. I could access it from the inside, so I taped the outside and filled it from the inside. That way the repair was smooth on the outside and didn't require sanding. It's not perfect but I would say it worked pretty good. It was a lot better option for me than spending $1200 for a new cowl.
