Showing our Sportcross some love - Dent in rear panel

[N5girl]

We want to show our 2004 IS SC some love. There is a dent in a rear panel. Paint is not cracked. I assume we will need to go to a bodywork shop to get this fixed? Or is it something we could do ourselves. It does not need to be showroom - it would just be good if it was not so obvious.

Input "Dents and small repairs" into Google and see what is close to you.

Again, about £200ish from a body shop you trust not to pull your leg.

Sounds about what my guy would charge me for a job like that.

If you can access the area behind the panel it may even push out by hand before going to a specialist but you’ll never get the paint looking good with a rattle can.
