So my GF doesn’t think it’s a big “deal” but to me it is and I know it’s there.

Because it’s down to the metal, the entire hood needs to be repainted. I was quoted $700. Good price?

That would drive me nuts too. I sympathize with you.

Ugh, I know how you feel. The good news is that a quality repair job will be indistinguishable from factory. $700 seems pretty reasonable to me if you’ve done your research and they do quality work. How did it happen?

I thought the car was all the way in the garage and closed the garage door on the hood…🙄😂

Yes, I’ve shopped around and found the best shop based on reviews. Thanks!

A+ for honesty. I'd pay the $700 and never speak of it again!

This is the way. Don’t think twice about it or ever again.

This has happened to me and 700 is reasonable considering that it's a three stage paint. I paid 400 for a small ding on my rocker panel a few months back but 50 of that was charged to take off the PPF.

If it were me, find a good dent guy and see if he can get it out. Then find a good paint chip guy and see if he can help. See my PDR thread in the main detailing forum. That was for my wife's x4, but a real pro can likely solve the dent/crease 100%.

I caught a rock on my drive home from picking up my car in tulsa - see pic. Has pissed me off for 2 months. Used some of my prior knowledge, also some learned from YT videos and its 80% better after i spent 2 hrs on it. I really don't notice now and my camera wouldn't even focus on it to get an after shot.

The car is so beautifully painted from the factory i would exhaust all options before letting someone take a sander to the paint. It's not about the $700, its about keeping the factory paint in my book.

Others will no doubt disagree, but that's my 2 cents.

I'd try to find the best PDR shop to take out the dent but if the dent is above a reinforcement beam, they may need to drill a hole through the beam to gain access. If the PDR was successful, I'd then research a paint touch-up solution. There are several out there.
