Default dents and paint

i have a few dents that didnt scratch the paint or anything. however they are noticable when looked at from up close. i was wondering if there is any way i can correct these. Also i was wondering if anyone knows how much a complete paint job would cost like range wise...im not talking about the cheap ones that only do the cover of the car where if you open the door the paint is different.

You, cant, a body shop can. Go to a reliable place that does paintless dent repair, and youll be golden.

or call up a mobile PDR (paintless dent removal) guy. I suggest you put up a thread in your local forum asking for PDR recommendations.

+1 for PDR, had it done on my S and you can't even tell the dent was there. You're in even better shape as you stated the dents haven't damaged your paint.

Unless you get a discount... I think the standard is $125 per panel for minor dings.

I have a great guy that works for my bodyshop (although he doesnt actually work for them) He charges 100 bucks to show up, and every MAJOR dent is 10 bucks extra. Otherwise, its "All you can fix" for the 100 bucks.

Price varies somewhat but it's pretty cheap.

I had two dents taken out, one on the drivers door and one on the passenger door. My total cost was $100, he charged $50 per major panel. Although even he told me that if I had a few more dents on one side or the other he wouldn't have charged me any extra to take them out. Overall, its a great option and very inexpensive.
