hi all. finally, my first post on this great forum. i have a question in regards to my th magna - it is painted in sable black and the bootlid has a couple of dents that need repairing. how much would i expect to pay to repair 2 tiny dents and repaint in sable black? - any ideas would help so i know i'm not being ripped off. cheers

$200-400 I'd think. Sorry that's a bit vague.

May i ask, are the 2 dints where the hinge is on the inside of the boot?

slyts6 noticed on my bootlid i had 2 tiny dints (not even i noticed this) that were exactly the same distance apart from each other on seperate sides.....could be a common problem...

Hammer, dolly, and touch up paint...$25...2hrs of work.

Nah, they're on the back of the bootlid, it was like that when I bought it but not sure what caused it.

Try ringing around a few wreckers, they may do a swap cheeper than a buy!

Dont bother with wreckers or even painting it.. Unless paint is damaged..

Dent removal guys will charge between $50-80 per dent depending on how bad they are.. if they are mild then you may get away with it for around $100..:)
