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! |

Did you paint this yourself?
If you had a bodyshop paint this I would 100% take it to the shop and have them fix it. They'll fix it MUCH faster than what you can do it and with less headaches. The corner just bend back, but the dent in the middle, boy howdy that is going to be fun.. |
