The 406 is here to stay, I've grown attached to it and I want to make it better, which may be foolish but I don't care :lol:

So the previous owner treated it to all sorts of dents, there is a dent to the osr on the rear quarter and the mar door the same dent and scrape through the paint to the primer.

So I'm going to have a go at making it better, can you access the inner rear panel to push the dent out?

And I think my car is China blue, it's a dark blue metallic. So I'm going to pull, bash or push the dents out as best as I can, then sand, fill and paint most likely with a rattle can unfortunately, which I accept won't be perfect but it will be better than it is, any tips?

^
don't go straight in there tapping dents out with a 'Hammer,

Where possible remove a panel, and Roll the dent out,rather than tapping it out,

Sometimes you can get some Dents out by using a Hot glue gun,

*Post some pic's of the dents up,

Get one of these dent master type places in, they can work miracles.
