Hi Folks.

Someone damaged my 380 while thieving a radio antenna. (Pics: http://warsug.info/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=8534)

Good thing for them that I didn't catch 'em! :sniper:

The panel has some deep scratches down to the metal and has a palm-sized dent at the top.

Question is, can paint scratches and dents like this be easily repaired or does the whole panel need to be replaced? Any rough ideas on cost?

Mate, sucks to hear bout what happened.

Im a paintless dent repairer and from looking at those photos on your link and I would have to say that it couldnt be pushed out using PDR. From what I see, there is paint missing. Looks like its a panel & paint job mate...sorry.

deffo a panel repairs job...

Shouldnt be too expensive to repair - roughly (using our shop as a reference) approx 500ish cash bucks to repair maybe?

Find a panel shop that gives free quotes and go from there :)
