Thumbs up Blending in

I will be returning to my car in a few months. One of the things I would like to do is fix all the dents and rock chips. I was told by "some guy" when I was home who was starting his own paint shop that he can blend in the paint on my front end to make it look like new, aslo he would pull the dents out. He said he would do this for a 100$. Has anyone ever heard of this? Kind of worried about doing this. I don't want to drop a ton of money to fix the rock chips and dents. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? Thanks everyone!

Way too cheap for all that. Your paint is gonna cost half that. I'd be concerned.

depends on what you think of your car...
if its your beater, then go for it

if its your #1 car, i agree that you dont want to be a guinea pig for someone to learn on!

I was at Sac2kdays in N CA and one of the vendors did spot paint repairs for ~$75 for the front lip. He had all the Honda paint codes and the results were remarkable even on Sebring and Rio. Since you are turning it in on lease, I wouldn't hesitate going this route.

I have had people at stoplights say "I can get those scratches out right now for $50"
