Um and paint. Expect it to be around $300-$400. Black is tough to match. Gonna have to blend it in with the hood, front bumper and front door panel.

Dent King!

it doesn't look like you have paint damage from the picks? whatever hit you/ or you hit was white. get some goof off/ xylene and rub the white paint off to see what you have? a local dent guy could probably pop that out for $150 as long as there's no paint damage? paint = body shop!

you have to blend every color (well a good shop should any way) and black is easy to match color for color, getting the exact finish is whats hard for the guy running the buffer

I doubt if Dent King/Dent Wizard would be able to fix that anyway. The damage has to be further than one inch from the edge.

If you don't mind traveling North a few extra miles, I recommend Acura of Libertyville. They blend their own paint for each car on-site.

Hopefully they will have my new transmission installed within the next few days. I can't wait to get rid of the ford taurus they rented for me.

I've also used Collison Craft in Westmont for my wife's Lexus and they did a great job fixing it up.
