Body work ??

Anyone have ideas for getting these dents out? Tree fell during an intense ice storm and of course just nicked the corner… kind of a small/awkward spot and I have barely any experience with this sort of mechanicing… TIA

It’s possible but not without skill, you could take the fender to a good PDR guy and get some of that out but in that certain spot it’s gonna be tough to get back to normal without some filler and sanding.

Kinda depends on how particular you are, I have OCD and would juggle the price of a good body shop making it right or sourcing a good used fender depending on price.

You can always go to a body shop and ask but most may just say order a new fender…but that’s a whole other story as aftermarket fenders are always cheaper and have fitment issues.

Or you could probably have a PDR guy do the best he can and call it good.
