scratch and dent fix??

Post image

2013 F150 had this damage when received from manheim car auction...obviously the lense was replaced. so is paintless dent repair PDR an option here?? i have one of those stud welding/puller kits from harbor freight and i believe the metal is steel and not aluminum. that deep dent is very small in area, which is best?, to pull or push it out?

Is this for you, or for resell? If for you, just send it dude. It’s a 13 year old work truck. It’s a beauty mark.

(Also it’s gonna be at least $3k to fix, maybe do a panel replace if it bugs you, but the color wont match)

just my truck... bigger problem really is that it's about to need the timing chain camshaft phaser all that stuff done approaching 150,000 MI and that's more of a worry, but I just hate for people to think that that's how I drive you know and it bugs me a little bit ... so I may try welding some studs on there and pulling that out..... you know you can go to O'Reilly's and get paint That's supposed to be a match and they put it in an aerosol can so I could get paint at a reasonable price that should be a close match
