i want to know the best plan of action for repairing this fender. and by best i mean cheapest, quickest and easiest. my hope was that id be able to pop it out from the inside with a rubber hammer. paint was not exchanged so hopefully repainting is not necessary .
any other options are welcomed, but i am aiming for affordability. thanx in advance

 

I highly doubt it.

 

i'll guess no.. anything that involves bending the metal can't be just popped out.

 

You can try, but those are the wrong tools. Search for local paintless dent removal and see what they say. That nice crease right before the wheel well will never be the same though.

Paint from a competent shop will cost much more than that.

 

Even if you can pop that out, I'm sure you'll see some creases or something like that. Try asking around at some bodyshops for better answers though. GL

 

DIY

take out the fender and hammer it out from the backside,...
I'm sure pro. body shop can do for you unless you have tools.

 

You could pop it out, but it's not gona look like it never happened. You will still be able to tell it was dented there.

 

You cannot fix that with just a hammer.

 

oh yeah...
if it cost too much,...get yourself a new fender

 

It ain't coming out. Get a new fender and stop kidding yourself.

 

just make sure you can match your paint up correctly! had that problem, tried to paint section, but had to get whole car painted!!! It needed it though

 

No Cant hammer it back with out having to paint it

 

technically you can hammer it out but it look like a sheet of paper thats been wrinkled way too many times and the paint will crack while you hammer. trust me on this I know from experience. Unless you have an enlish wheel and years of experience its easier just buy a new fender and get it painted.

 

That'll buff right out!

 

can this be poped out?

That wont work..get a fender for $30~$50 and bring it to a paint shop and have them color match it. Probably cost $200 or so for paint. They might want to blend the doors to but you can get it close with just a fender but not 100% perfect unless they blend the doors as well. I doubt youd notice if they just did the fender unless the sun hit it just right. Paintless dent removal will not work for that. Rubber mallet wont do much but stretch the metal. A hammer and dolly set could fix that with bondo but why when you can buy a new fender for not much more.

Your call man...those are the options

 

A decent body guy should be able to make that good as new......without costing too much as it would to buy a new fender and having it painted, etc.

 

your best bet would be to just buy a new fender and get it painted. because if you take that to a body shop...itll cost some money...thats kinda bad. oh yea...just to let you know...if you ''knock' it out with a rubber hammer, you will probably have to use a lot of force to knock that out...and youll probably hit it too hard and dent it the other way...plus the paint will crack to ****...if you hammer it the other way...i tried that ****....i have like waves...from where i knocked too hard...blah blah...

 

why is everyone telling him to hammer it out, I just posted a link to a new fender for $26.. thats not alot of money.

I have thats why i am recommending it. my entire from clip is aftermarket, hood,fenders, and bumper, even the back one. U would never know my front end is not tehoriginal from honda. when i bought my car I had nasty scrtches in the bumper and dents on the hood and fenders. I replaced them all and it looks completely stock. I recommend them 100%

 

Check out a local salvage yard for a fender as well, you might find one the same color as your car, then just swap them out not sure on the cost tho every yard is different....
