dent filling/respray - el_bandido - 20-02-2020
Basically, being a *** the other week has left some dents in my roof. What's the best way to do this?
I was thinking sand it down and smooth off with filler, but to be honest I'm not that confident that I can get a smooth, flat surface.
I am tempted to use this as an opportunity to carbon skin the roof.
What do you reckon, am I better off turning this one over to a pro?

Carbon wrap will highlight any imperfections in the roof mate, really needs to be perfectly smooth.

might get someone to smooth it over first then!

If the paint is intact call Dent Devils and let one of their guys pull the dent.
Flat surfaces are a PITA to get right.

Agree with 2tongues, if they're small dents with no paint damage a mobile dent guy will get it out easily.

I have a couple of small dents in my roof. I bought the car that way. I think the only way to get it right is to hand it to a pro, it needs to be perfectly smooth for wrapping or painting, and that can be tricky for the inexperienced! I was hoping to save up for a full respray, but so far my total savings are nil!
