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! |

As much work as it would to prep a replacement lid you could fix that one. Mine had bent corners on both lids, I just bent the edges back to level with the rest of the lid. The one the middle use paint-less dent removal tools. You should able to get them back with a tiny amount of filler. Block the whole thing out and respray the whole lid.
