Just got this wicked dent/scratch on my xB this morning and i need to find a local paint shop that can pull the dent and paint it for not to much.

I am hoping not to spend more than 100 bucks (i dont want to insurance it, cuz my deduct is a little to high).

or should i just suck it up for now, order a body kit and then have it all done at once???

anyways please reply if you know any local paint shops near Dublin, CA... willing to travel as far as 30-45mins away.. (i.e. san jose area or north to concord or whatever you guys get the jist)

help is needed immediately...

thanks everyone for any kind of help.

Where is the dent located at? Last I checked paintless dent removal is around $100 alone.

Sorry, But there is no such thing as a $100.00 dent these days. Remember the number one rule YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!

located about 6" below passenger side key hole...

scratch down to the metal about 6" long....

it is just straight messed..

Don't you have dent doctors in town that will fix small dents for small amount of $$$
but then again, 6" is pretty big dent dude

ya i know... i am very sad... gonna go and get touch up paint from the dealership and temp it... i think i'm going with the body kit route.... i know its gonna be a little ricey with the dent and the body kit but hey i eat rice. ha. thanks. and keep any adive coming my way.

If I remember correctly Dave (toybox1) had his door repainted at Angel Auto Body once. They did a good job from what I could see on his BSP. You might check with them to see what they will charge.

When my xB had the window smashed in and ended up with paint damage down to the metal with no dent the paint alone for the door, sideskirt and inner trim was a little over a grand and the total damage was close to 2G. Good paint is not cheap.

cool... i'll try them out and see what they quote me... but like i said i think i might go ghetto for the next month and just use the cash i have to by a kit or something... definitely need to pick up some touch up paint from the dealer though.

thanks again for the help... (wow and i hope i never have to paint my car that much unless i got the custom job... cuz 2g is just way to much to cut into the budget.)

if its on the door, how will a body kit cover it up?

it wont but it will be cheaper if i get that fixed and get the kit painted/mounter at the same time.... the more you do at once the cheaper it is (so every paint shop i go to says.).

kee's autobody in concord off monument...

Who cares? I've been rolling around with an "egged" mark on my passenger door. (The paint is spider-webbed)

Do it when you get your kit. And don't count on it being $100. I had my front bumper spot prepped and painted and it was almost $800 for an area 4" x 1.5"

Yeah, having the egg mark sucks :doh:

i guess the final verdict is in and i'm gonna wait and do the body kit.... here i come touch up paint... haha. @ least i'll have a bunch a cool stuff on my car to take away from the hideousness ( i think thats how you spell it)
