Point it out with a sticker that says: I took my truck off road! Nobody has to know it was a parking lot. ---

Fuck it. I’m not spending all day on this, and I’m sure as hell not spending more than $20 bucks fixing a ding on a DD. I’m keeping this thing till the wheels fall off. It’s not the first ding and sure won’t be the last. My time and money needs to go to something more fun, that hopefully will show up in a thread sometime this week :snky:. I’m going to: 1. Drop bumper. 2. Tap it out with a hammer and appropriately size and hardness tool (read: piece of wood) that I can find laying around the basement workshop. 3. Sand till shiny. All rust gone. 4. Bondo, maybe 5. Sand. 6. Prime 7. Sand 8. Factory touch up paint 9. Polish 10. Clear, maybe If the primer and paint is more than $10 each for a spray can they will just be those cheap little 1 ounce brush-on bottles. I believe that that’s the correct way to do it, but I’m sure as hell not scuffing up the whole fender. My craftsmanship tends to be on par with that of a control systems engineer, if you catch my drift. I’d rather have a decently fixed ding than a whole fucked up fender. :roflpicard: ---

i wouldnt even care about the ding, just to make sure that the rust is covered up and stuff so it doesn’t lead to more damage over time but since you are putting that much “work” into it you might as well pound out the ding as best you can, who cares if it looks perfect primer in the can is like 7bucks, and it’s not like you even need a whole can lol, paint will be about the same price i wouldnt even bother with bondo, then you have to get into sanding and fading it and shaping everything, fuck it. Just fix the paint ---

Try calling Urban Paint in north tonawanda. I believe they can mix factory colors and put them into a spray can. Only thing I’m not sure of is if they still need clear after or if its single stage. ---

I would not use a compound if you are going to clear over it.). I would roll with that :tup: They sell a 1oz. bottle of “clear” touch up. It is more like an epoxy as opposed to the typical urethane clear. You may want to add that. > [@Fry](#): > > My craftsmanship tends to be on par with that of a control systems engineer… Haha. ---

clean up the rust, hit it with rust bullet ([www.rustbullet.com](http://www.rustbullet.com)), hit it with some color match spraypaint and put one of those “band-aid” stickers over the boo-boo.

I’ve got some POR15 kicking around somewhere if I want to really get lazy. But I think I’ll go with pound, spray, and pray. ---
