Default Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

well i guess this day was inevitable, but i got my first door ding. Some stupid %$#@ opened their door a little too hard and now i got a ding on my driver side fender. the paint also looks a little deep. i sure hope i don't have to paint it over.

anybody ever try those paintless dent removal places? im curious about it.

oh, and this happened at school, CSUF. screw CSUF parking, it takes me over an hour just to find a freaking spot.

If it's dented, try a company that specializes in paintless dent removal. They can pop out the ding with special tools. If the scratch isn't too deap (you can't feel it with your finger after washing it) than it should wet sand out.

I've used dent wizards before on my Prelude and they did a great job. Can't even tell the dent was there in the first place.

Yes, as long as the dent doesn't break the paint, use Dent Wizards...

is CSUF Fresno State? If it is, it must be hotter than the core of the sun there right now!

I know, this has nothing to do with this thread...

As long as it is a dent and not a crease. A crease, regardless of paint condition, can get a little more expensive to repair.

Ask me how I know this.

I recently had a flat tire fixed at a local Firestone dealer and the jack was too high to fit under the car.The technician decided to lift the car by grabbing the right rear fender and pulling up on it.I figured he knew what he was doing and didn't think anything more of it.Three days later I parked the car at the airport and noticed that the fender was dented.I can only assume that the "lifting" of that right rear fender caused the dent.
I brought the car to Eastern Coach Restoration in Sayville,N.Y.,and someone came later that day and removed the dent.I watched him work and he is really an artist and sculptor.
He fixed the dent in 20 minutes and no paint was necessary.
You can not tell where the dent had been!
It cost $200.00,but it saved repainting the entire side of my car,which would have cost $1000.00 to do it the proper way.
Paintless dent removal is definitely the way to go!
