Hood Dent =(
So a box from a shelf in my garage fell on my hood today.....so now I have a nasty dent.
Anyone have an idea how much it will cost or any suggestions on what I should do to fix it. I'm thinking I might have to pay as much as replacing the whole hood any suggestions or thoughts would be great thanks |

They're going to need to fill the hole and repaint the hood unfortunately.
If I were you, I would just apply touch up paint and build it up. I wouldn't spend too much money on something so minor. |

Paintless dent removal may be able to help but the sharpness of the ding and the paint damage (it is a pearl) mean that to repair it completely, paint will be required

Nasty.
Since getting it fixed professionally is going to be $$$, you could try to knock the dent out from the underside of the hood so that it's more flush and then using touch-up paint to make it less visible. |

That's a pretty deep dent. Here are some recommendations for you:
1.) Have a body shop tap out the dent and repaint ($$$) 2.) Have a body shop tap out the dent and vinyl cover the hood ($$) 3.) Have a body shop tap out the dent and plastidip the hood ($$) 4.) Repace hood with a carbon fiber hood ($$$ / about $750) 5.) Tap out the dent yourself and plastidip the hood with 3M's plastidip ($ / cheapest) 6.) Don't do anything or buy touch up paint and protect it from rust ($ / cheapest too) I just finished getting some dents out of my roof caused by a touchless carwash. Sad to say, it wasn't touchless... Hope this helps |

PDR should be able to take care of the dent. Paint is another issue.

This is why EVERYONE should have a best friend that owns a body shop. I keep all his technology going and he keeps my cars looking new. I don't charge him for any work and he does not charge me anything. It is a win win for me.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Im still emailing around all the shops. Just seeing what my options are. If nothing comes around I may go the cheap way and deal with in further down the line when I have enough money to shell out for this dent. I might actually just put a sticker over it temporarily lol so it will prevent rust hopefully

We would charge somewhere around $400. It's aluminum so pdr is probably not going to work since the aluminum is stretched
