Well a couple of weeks ago I was involved in a hit-n-run at the mall, waited 3 weeks now to see if they caught the person that ran into my car so far no luck....took it to ABRA the other day they wanted 1500+ to get it repaired I was like....I'll pass. What do you guys think I never done auto body before but would rather learn and use the rest of the money to upgrade my suspension. You guys think it would be easy to get this patched up ?? I don't even know where to start.
 I just need a list of the supplies I need to get this fixed up any help or tip is appreciated thanks.  As you can see the wheel arch is pushed in too....   The dent was bigger but I managed to pop the big dent in the middle out.   I know I gotta wash those damn salt off my car.

^Feen has a point.
heating it will alow it to bend easyer, but at a price. it's also possible for it to stretch out at the pressure points when doing that. If you had a mold then this wouldnt' be such a bad idea, but seeing as your not going to "take off" your quarter panel anytime soon~ Also, filler don't stick to paint, and fiberglass will not stay long with metal or paint. -------------------- QUOTE (presure2 @ Nov 6, 2010 - 6:16 AM) Via FB: fcuking awsome!!!

What?!? lol fibreglass is nearly the same effect is applied to paint... but tis fine on metal, it just needs good grooves. not long term; it's bond with plastic for years and years, but if on paint, it will only hold up to the strenth of the paint itself, pls adds weight and a "handle" action. It'll hold, yes, but not as well, not for a *long* time. The "correct" thing to do is to sand it down to metal, prime, glass, sand, fill, prime, paint, clear, buff. *EDIT* not that everyone does this, including body shops; but it is the "correct" way for "optimal" results. You dont "HAVE" to do any of it; hell you can go hit it with the torch if ya wanna and burn the paint off and prime it, lol. What you do is up to you, but its what you do that determines how it will turn out, and hold up.
