SS8_Gohan Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I had the dent in the bonnet removed this morning by Mark from Un-Dint It and he did a great job. Took about 30 minutes to "massage" it out. You wouldn't even know it was there now. Top job!! Would highly recommend them to anyone that has a minor dent. Sorry I didn't take any before or after photos but I couldn't get an angle where the dent was visible in a photo. phew... i was about to say, you were being taken for a ride if someone wanted to remove the bonnet and spray the whole thing. PDR, paintless dent removal, is definitely the way to go for things like that. For places to go "well, we CAN do it, but it's not going to be cheap" and just seeing someone rock up with a $150K car and trying to score. good on ya for going the PDR route, much much better option. You still retain all the original paint and i'm sure saved yourself and absolute bundle. What was it, $60 or so? as for body shops, yes there are good trades people about who don't work in 'exotic' specialist places BUT you have to be in the know, like GTR32G to find them, which means, going the high-end exotic route is the safe option and i think decent advice. the other thing is that these places have a greater chance of looking after the car properly in their care as oppose to other places that might joy-ride Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310459-help-anyone-know-a-good-paint-repair-shop-who-can-do-r35-super-silver/page/2/#findComment-5426761 Share on other sites More sharing options...

limitless Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Ended up costing $110. Took him about 30 minutes but was well worth it. I think that Shipstones wanted to remove it etc because it was on the drivers side crease line in the bonnet. When he was doing it he commented that alloy is a lot harder to work with as it doesn't want to "spring" back like steel does. Also being on the crease line he started there first then worked around it. Good to watch.
