Thought I would tackle the dented 1/4 panel that the to$$er at Lincs show did .I used to be a semi skilled panel beater , so thats why I am now a Insurance Assessor/Engineer .
If your interested read on , if not .....
Goodbye .

If you read this bit and further posts you are interested . First I removed the inner trim to gain access to dent . After pushing/hammering out dent with use of a 'dolly' , I used an air powered DA sander to remove the paint around the dent .

As the panel was 'stretched' it was not possible to knock the dent out fully and had to fill. When the panel looked right a coat of black paint is sprayed on and then sanded off . Any low spots and pin holes are seen as they appear black .

Once happy(ish) with the filler I sprayed high build primer on ready for top coat .

I would'nt top coat it just yet. y'know, just in case.

Top work oh fellow member of the surf classic club...but you could have wash all of the motor before you decided to paint just the corner,and that dolly of yours is it an inflaterble one or hard plastic like barby.

I have bought some aerosol paint the correct paint number as on chassis plate . Only one general manufacturer now makes it . I have test sprayed it and it looks to dark . The Runner has been fully repainted before so a match to colour is going to be difficult . May have to colour chit (correct spelling) if too far off and pay some one to mix and spray for me . I usually like to do all my work myself , so if its no good I can only refuse to pay myself . .
