I dropped a board on my month-old paint job that I did myself. Much swearing ensued.
I have some paint left over, so I can paint the whole rear trunk lid. But I need to fix the bent corner and the dent in the middle. 1. Is the corner dent easily fixable by just bending it back? What's the best way to do this?    2. The dent in the middle is right over one of the cross members on the other side. I thought I could drill a hole in it, then tap out the dent. Thoughts?  Thanks! |

easy enough to straighten, but because of the cracked paint it will need to be ground to bare metal and body worked then the paint blended. not an easy repair
