Need Help. Dinged my 2020.

In my haste and hubris, I backed into a light pole. Fixed damaged tailight ($189 at stealership)
but the ding is on outside corner of crease. Maybe the heatgun/duster can will work but it's 100F out not doing it now. Body shop guy said $1200. WOW. Ow and wow. Any other cheap/easy tricks?

 

Maybe look into paintless dent repair

 

Don't think those suctions cups will work on a beaded corner.

 

Totaled, sell it.

 

I meant professional. Lot more than suction cups

 

Paintless dent repair can easily fix that dent

 

Time to go long travel f*ck the bed get a cage and be the envy of thy neighbor

 

Paint less dent will help but because of the hard body line it will not be perfect. You just have to resign yourself that it is what it is and if a paintless guy can make it 50% better then it 50% better than it is now. If your like me then a full body shop repair might be your best option. I’d definitely at least have a paintless guy give it a try and he might get it better than expected- maybe even perfect.

 

Think of it as the truck’s christening!

 

It's a brand new truck, get it fixed
insurance would have covered the taillight

 

Hot and cold ain’t taking that out. That’s an incredibly strong portion of your bed.

Try getting a quote from a good PDR guy or another couple quotes from traditional body shops, or call your insurance agent.

 

UTE tray. Problem solved.

 

Trying not to "tell" the insurance. Got a couple good traveling dent guys I looked up. Thanks for the direction.

 

If you have a reasonable insurance deductible then just make the claim and have the dealership fix it right.

 

Looks like you got the bumper cover too .

 

PDR guy is gonna say no.they don't work on creases. Imagine how much that metal stretched to make that dent. That's gonna take a torch, shrinking hammer and dolly.

 

Those are waiting to be installed. But a new metal bumper is looking pretty good right now.

 

Thought you have a backup camera

 

Fender replacement will be your best option......the creases are too sharp and the paint is broken so PDR wont look good if used here. $1200 sounds about right for the fender and paint.

 

My haste and hubris.
