Damage on rear quarter...
Im thinking about repainting my car myself... all the dings on my car are very minor. I think a little body filler should fix pretty much all of them. Nothing but little door dings. Nothing bad or deep.
But this one spot on the rear quarter has me really concerned.

Notice right near the fender at the accent line. There are about 2 or 3 weird waves in the finish.
This is not a previous bondo fix or anything. This was caused by the previous owner dropping the jack down into the fender, and then trying to get it back out. I can see the scratches on the inside of the fender right beside where the jack is.
This is such a weird area... Im not even sure what the best way to attack it is. The metal is bent OUTWARD from the inside, but the accent line was bent inward at the same time in spots... It's just odd, but I cant help but think it should be entirely fixable... Im just not sure if it's something i'll be able to fix.

Re: Damage on rear quarter...
Its kind of expensive but try to see if a Paintless Dent Repair person could get it out. Even if its not perfect it would make it easier to work with. Just a suggestion.
