that bottom one looks like its on the line of the car

id try to nock them out so the shape line is correct, then id fill them and paint

tbh if its a brick thats done it, their going to be pretty tough dents to remove

mr usefull today you arent u mate lol!

yeah, would that mean respraying the whole panel? or would it be possible just to do one area?

[Dave.]

depends how good you want it tbh

if its your run about id go for just a can

if its your pride and joy id go for a full panel or "dust it in" as they say, i wouldnt bother spraying the whole side.. but if your mega fussy.. lol

yeah just get a small peice of wood, hit the wood with a hammer, it should knock out and even it up, then filler it, smooth it down then paint it :)

[Tidy Max]

:) cheers, should i sand the area around it down? or just do as said then wipe the filler off the existing paint work?

[bangerbrian]

I would sand down the filler once its dry so you will get a better results :)

thanks matey! this could be my sunday job sorted :) well, one of them! haha

knock the dent out a bit so it isnt as bad, start filling it up evenly

onec its dry sand it down so its smooth and flat then spray thick coat of filler primer over it (buy it from halfords aerosol) take some 600 sandpaper wet and rub the whole painted area down until its completely smooth, should be repaired.

Im not going to go into details about painting it :P

But i would blend it and not spray the whole panel.

looks like it was those cricket nobs lol

if you know anyone with panel hammers and dollies get the shrinking hammer on it from the inside then a thin skim of filler

remember to sand it before you fill it mind
