I have two dents that i want to take care of by my passengers door, there are 2 very small dents i tried taking a pic but was hard to make it appear, i tried using the reflection of the camera to show it.


Since they are small, i was just going to sand it, fill it with body puddy, and primer + paint. Is this going to be effective?

Next i have a tear in my front bumper cover, i was going to try and fill it to match the body line of it, or should i just sand it down?



Next i have a bigger dent + rust on the corner of my hatch, this one i dont know what to do. Suggestions plz!

 

did you take it by dent magic to see if they could pop them out. The hatch looks like your going to need to patch with some good metal, or buy a new one

 

That hatch is pretty much beyond repair. Mine just had bubbles forming and by the time I got done "de-rusting" it, I had to cut about a dozen holes in it, bought a fiberglass hatch, and the steel original is still sitting in the basement.

 

Bumper would have to replace I think. I dont think the ruber is reparable but im not a expert on that part. The hatch I think is repairable unlike 86 ho said. to me it looks like it got dented and rust formed on the metal where the paint chiped off. The other dents look like as if dent removal company would beable to remove. I have a company around my area that was named dent craft and they pulled similar dents out of my 94 and did a decent job and cost alot less than having a body shop repair/sand/prime/repaint the fender. also takes less time than a body shop and some dent removal companies will come to your door step.

 

I'm telling you that rust on the hatch is probably inbetween the two pieces of sheet metal, and will only come back...

but do what you want.

 

Ya that hatch is no good.I would just go and get another one.As for the other dents they can be taken out without any sanding or body filler.Find a place that does PDR just said above.There is aslo plastic filler you can get as well.But then you have to form the body lines.
