Wouldn't surprise me, actually....the guy who does the paintless dent stuff for my friend Dave (where I got the Volvo) owns four houses, and his only business is dent removal....

Yeah, these guys make a mint. Average for a GOOD job is about 100.00 per dent. We counted 5 or so in a cluster on the door. Like a repeted door ding....

That is for the normal deal. If you saw this door panel you would understand. I honestly would pay 1000 just to have it done without paint. I got lucky with the finish on this truck and do not want to screw it up becasue of some F$*%er that was not paying attention to what he was doing.

Trust me I dont want to pay ANYTHING, but I am just as **** about my truck as the next guy......( you know what I mean ) So if I have to pay more for a good/perfect job, I am willing to do it.

Sucks man, I know how you feel. My truck was hit twice and had the window busted out in the parking lot of Target when I worked there. I was so pissed off!

If you have to paint let me know cuz I use PPG and I have a color that is absolutely perfect for code WA 382E Light Pewter. I use PPG and have panel painted it more than a few times with perfect results. Might pay off rather than painting half of your truck. My truck is the same color so last time I got slow I sprayed a bunch of variants until I found the one!
