Bad Ding/chip from the INSIDE of my trunk!
Short story short, I had a vacuum cleaner in the trunk of my 05 wrx and the handle poked through the cardboard "door" covering the emergency jack. It must've happened when driving and the handle created a pair of one bad and one not so bad pimple looking dings on the corner of the rear driver's side quarter panel. It is so bad that the paint just popped off the point of the worst of them.
I plan on touching up after getting the dings massaged out (hopefully). I'm not sure about the results when the ding is actually popping out/ not in. What is the proper procedure for doing a touch up on the small spot where the paint is totally gone? My car was claybarred two days before and has no major flaws except for this new shtuff....

photos? I've had stuff in my trunk (not the WRX) that caused dings on the trunklid, but never so bad as to make the paint pop off. That's pretty serious. Is it just the paint or the primer, too?

All the way down to the metal. It's not really that much. The coat of nailpolish description is pretty good.

You might look into a PDR guy that also does minor touchups. I had some clearcoat peeling on my S (factory problem) that the dealership had their dent guy fix up. I believe he just used an airbrush.

Happened to my old Jetta. The paint absolutely cracked around the "bump".
They told me that they would have to sand / re-paint the whole area. I passed and got rear-ended a short while later. Fixed for free....sort of. |

One thing an old friend that did lots of body work told me, is that if the metal has streched, you wont be able to get rid of the dent, since the metal now takes up more surface area

The PDR guys would just knock it back in, Do not try this your self.
Just clean the area and touch it up. |
