sup guys, i think soeone hit my car while i was parked ..
theres a small dent on the rear quarter
i was wondering if it would be a cheap fix, or if i woul dhave to replace the whole panel, etc
i'm a body newb, so any info and thoughts would be appreciated

 

look up paintless dent repair

 

bump for this guy

 

of course its fixable. why would you have to change the entire panel?

 

**** sucks

 

try popping it out, take all the rear driver side interior panels off and lightly try to smooth it out with your hand..

 

damn...that sucks. i have a dent like that on the other side of my car. not as big as that though. hit was alil hard, it took off the paint down the metal. so i just put touch up paint over mines.

 

Use peanut butter. . . it solves everything

 

anything's fixable, it's just if you want to pay

on a serious note. the dent looks really sharp...i suggest changing out the whole quarter panel.

That would be the first thing i'd do, but if you succeed it will still have ripples apply peanut butter afterwards for best results

 

lol, peanut butter is jokes.

Try pounding it out from inside the car like what those guys said.
Or let a body shop get the dent out for you from the inside.
Or call up paintless dent removal.

I doubt you will need to cut and weld in a new piece.
It sucks that it is so close to the rear quarter glass.
If you go with cut and weld, you probably need to take the glass out as well.
But, like i said, I don't think it will come to that.

EDIT: that's the rear, right?

 

yes, it's the rear quarter panel ..

thanks for all the input guys, hopefully i can do this **** myself
i'm so strapped for cash right now

 

ya u should be able to get most of it popped out from the inside...just be careful when u do it. it's prolly not gena be a smooth as it was but it'll def. be less noticable

 

lol is it fixable? of course lol. paintless dent repair, look in your phone book...

 

of course, popped out, use aircraft remover on the area, apply bondo, sand to give shape and smooth surface. Apply primer, wet sand all the quarter panel, apply paint to the quarter panel, then apply clear coat...... Wet sand between coats and dont use can spray. Make shure you match the paint before aplying it...

sorry for my english
