CA Door Ding Cover Up

I Have A Couple Of Dings And Was Wondering If Anyone Uses Any Vinyl Stickers To Cover Them Up. (Cant afford repairs right Now)
What Did You Use?
I Was Thinking Of Using That Big MAZDA Sticker That Would Cover the DIng's Up.

have you tried calling a paintless dent removal guy? They're not as expensive as most people think.

I really would NOT put a sticker on the body panel to cover up a door ding.

it only makes sense that if there is a dent, the vinyl (if applied properly) would still show the dent. and yes, paintless dent removal would be the best route to go. i realize that some dents are in poor spots and can't be fixed but i'd go with that first if at all possible.

unless the sticker is a picture of a door ding, then that would look funny

How about getting a huge band-aid and slapping it on the dent??

funny and achieves the desired look.

win-win.




p.s. - fix your keyboard, it's stupid
