Dent removal ? Paint damaged

[teamfly]

Looking for advice on dent removal please .
Cutting grass yesterday & mower picked up a rock & hurled it into side of van .
About a 1cm diameter dent , paint is through to metal ( like a rock scrape rather than crack ) .
Local dent guys I tried said no can do as paint broken .
I could live with the paint damage but not sure I can bear the dent ......
Any suggestions???

Put a smear of Vaseline on the scrape until you can get it repaired properly to avoid rust getting hold

I've covered the metal with touch up paint so should be ok .
Just want the dent out without painting the whole panel

If you can get a dent man to do it from the inside with rods you should be ok , but the problem you’ve got is most use glue and pullers so theres a risk of them pulling more paint off with it being already damaged.

Thanks,
That's what dent guy said - worried he'd pull paint .
I'll try another company and ask re rods , access from inside should be no bother.

I had a small dent in a similar place. The dent guy wouldn’t push it from the inside as he said he needed to see the effect ftom the outside.

Quick question where did they gain access on the panel, I have one also in similar place and wondered if they need to be outside to see affect on the panel when popping dent out ? Thanks

Access from removing the lining panels inside the van.
Aye , he did have a look outside as he did it .
Good job , I don't notice it now
