Default Is this Dent Repairable? Please Help!

hey guys. Was driving home from work and on the freeway, someone ran over something and flew up and hit my car. I thought I just ran over it but when I went home, I found this....just wondering if its repairable without repainting and what not. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

It's hard to say without seeing it in person, but I think it can be repaired. Call a paintless dent specialist to remove the dent and then buff out the scuff.

Suprisingly, even though the dent looks fairly deep it doesn't look like the paint got hit that hard.

Yeah, a PDR guy should be able to get most, if not all, of that dent out (there's a minor crease in the dent, but very very minor). And a little buffage with a polishing compound and machine should level that scuff on the paint.

yup would be my guess too...
i dont see any paint cracks, so it looks like it could be done.
a dentless guy can tell you for sure.
i have done them myself, and yours isnt what i usually run across- but again, i am not a pro-

Some won't do anything that is creased. The guy I use seems to be able to do them though.
