Repairing This Dent
Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has repair dents themselves or have experiences with it? I'd like to know how I can get this dent on my rear quarter panel repaired without going to a paintless dent repair... They want to charge me $450 to get this taken care of, which is just too much... Can I take off the fender lining of my rear wheel and hammer it out from the inside? The dent is on the top left hand side. |

Paintless dent removal is an art. Some of those guys/gals are amazing. Definitely NOT something for a do it yourselfer.

This is something for a professional. Hammering it out will likely stretch out the metal and there's NO going back from that. Either live with it or spend the money for PDR.

Ah, okay. i couldn't stop looking at the obvious exposed plastic. I'd get both professionally repaired.

I would not try this yourself... You could damage it beyond an easy/moderate repair.. I have learned after much modding and DIY's that certain things are better left to professionals... This is prob one of them

Risking messing up your 50k car over $500 sounds pretty silly to me.
