#174755 - 24/06/03 07:36 PM Damnit! Dent already. Suggestions?
Anonymous
Unregistered


Well, I went MTB today and as I pulled my bike off my roof rack and my fork hit the side of my truck (when I slipped) right above the rear cargo window.

I have a nice little "crease" dent there now. Not to mention the scratch went right to the metal!

I went MTBing then came home and took some rubbing compound to the scratch. I then cleaned it and with my fingernail scrapped off about a nickel size spot where there was no paint. I then ever so carefully took the touchup paint and covered that spot up.

In a week or to I'll go back and take rubbing compound to the touchup paint and even it out and blend it in as best I can.

But what about this crease dent? It's about 1 inch long and isn't to deep. If you look at the truck from the side you can see it. I was thinking a dentless removal place but its above the rear cargo window and I don't think they can get to it from the inside of the truck.

I also thought about the ding king but I am unsure of how it will perform on a crease dent. Then again, it is a very small one.

Bottom line. I was an idiot and needed to be more careful! [Geek]

Take it to Dent Wizards If you go to the rockville office tell them that Donnie Villanueva from Dynamic Racing Concepts referred you to them.

Don't bother with ding king... I bought one to try on a couple spots. One little dent from backing into a grill, the other from hitting a gate. Neither came out with ding king.

Let the pros do it - Ding King is a joke.

$50-$70 and they will typically get it out to where it isn't noticable at all.

The only thing is it would have been better to let them get the dent out first before you did the touch up paint, but they probably won't disturb it.

I agree with DocNo Let the pros do it bring it to dent wizards let them do the job. they have been in the business for a long time serving most for the areas dealerships. My friends and I bring our cars to dent wizards for all the dent work we have been a satisfied customers for a good 7 years now.
