dent filling/respray
dent filling/respray
I was thinking sand it down and smooth off with filler, but to be honest I'm not that confident that I can get a smooth, flat surface.
I am tempted to use this as an opportunity to carbon skin the roof.
What do you reckon, am I better off turning this one over to a pro?

Flat surfaces are a PITA to get right.

Agree with 2tongues, if they're small dents with no paint damage a mobile dent guy will get it out easily.

ad: It was a tough call to make, but the Supercharged IS200 is being retired. ad:I have a couple of small dents in my roof. I bought the car that way. I think the only way to get it right is to hand it to a pro, it needs to be perfectly smooth for wrapping or painting, and that can be tricky for the inexperienced! I was hoping to save up for a full respray, but so far my total savings are nil!
