I once hit a huge traffic cone somewhere in Texas, and it caused the front of the fender/bumper cover to bend outward as it got caught under the car. When I returned to California, I went at it with my foot and fist and in no time I had it pounded back into place. Of course my foot and hand were a bit worse off...........but my fender was pretty good.

I too have ripples, and will have to repaint. I taped the paint with electrical tape and used this tire weight removal tool as the hammer. White plastic cover is tough but soft.

What side fender do you need Bill? I may have found a good GP White drivers, not going to help me but, maybe you.

I'm not sure why so many people have an aversion to filler. The adhesion of modern filler to metal is absolutely amazing. I can understand people not wanting to have a car with lots of body work, but the days of driving over speed bumps and having all of the bondo fall off are long gone. I would much prefer body filler over 10 coats of high build. If you think you've got it straight, I would suggest at least using some Slick Sand on the damaged area before high build.

Might I suggest that if you have to do that again, you tape it off as though it were a let-down panel? Basically you put the tape on the edge of the masking paper and place the masking paper on the car so that the paper is covering the area you want to spray. Then you fold the paper back but don't pull it tight. This leaves a much softer edge that is a lot easier to to feather in.

That sucks, but it will be ok. Damn, I did that on the side of my garage backing in a 968 about 4 years ago, just grazed the bumper, but of course, had to take the bumper off, strip it, redo it.. yada, yada...
Sorry man....
