The scratch I see is in the clear coat and with a little finesse will all but disappear. Better a small blemish than a whole fender repaint.

P.s. your trunk lid doesn't look like it lines up with the fender.

I hate to be a down, but I don't believe a pdr will remove that. The dent continues thru the edge/fold of the metal, which makes it much harder to massage out.

I hope for your sake I am incorrect. Please post follow up pictures, as this will serve as an example of the types of repair that can be accomplished with PDR.

Thank you

If it requires a body shop a skilled technician can shape it from behind. If a shop quotes you to fill it and repaint find another shop as filler eventually shrinks and fails.

I had heard that sharp dents, or dents that extend into hard lines or tight radius areas, were either not doable or not cost effective. I was hoping things had progressed significantly in the PDR repair industry, that the dent posted could be easily worked...I guess we'll find out .

Most every one I've seen fits better than that.

I had a guy come out yesterday. He couldn't fully fix it but did his best. There just is no room for him to get in there
