Default Paintless dent removal example

Last week there were a discussion on the painless dent removal and for the life of me I couldn't find the pictures that I took prior and finish.

Well.... somehow I came across it today.

Robin,

I agree... a good PDR man can work magic on a panel that looks totally trashed. Good to see you found one of those magicians.

You are lucky that dent was not aft to the door seam. Could have been ugly...

It looks as good as new. Must of been a lousy feeling at the time and while you were waiting for the repair work. Glad it worked out well.

Actually the lousy part was finding out that your boss dented your car and deny that she did it. When I was jumping up and down about the damage she said.. "Oh that's a small dent, it is such an old car who cares. (say it with a Chinese accent)"

I was very happy with the work, there is no way you could tell there was a huge dent there after the repair. I was very happy to pay the $500.

Hope you don't still work for her.

You have to really try denting these cars in the door since they are so small compared to other vehicles. Thats plain carelessness. Robin, why does your avatar say you are in Chino? I thought you were in GA somewhere.....

I moved to CA 2 years ago.......

I guess maybe it was because her car is too big, she just couldn't see my little red Porsche... a MBZ G500. Of course not a scratch on her bumper....

A typical sight you see around Rowland Height, CA area. Many tiny 5'2" Chinese women in their giant Mercedes who think they own the road... :P

You need to find a real beater - delta 88 or something - and park it right next to her door so that she has to squeeze that little body of hers into the car. Its a bonus if you had some twisted chrome bumpers on it just in case she got a little close. In college, my friend had a beater like this (primer gray, twisted bumpers, peeling vinyl roof) and its amazing how much room people give you when it looks like you dont give a sh*t about your car.

Damn... sorry to hear that... that's a shame. Make sure you file a claim against her once you have your new job lined up.

I was very happy to pay the $500.
So does she intend to pay for the damages? I would hope so!

Robin,

I know you're upset and angry, but I find this thread very offensive. Racial/ethnic slurs & stereotypes have no place on this or any other forum. This forum has members of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, and we should go to great lengths to respect those differences. Please reconsider your words. I am disappointed in you.

Where is the racial slur? If anything Robin is offensive to himself since he is of the same ethnicity.

Some people are way too sensitive....

I will add fuel to the fire: She should get a ticket for DWO, Driving while Oriental....
