Hello everyone, I'm planning on wrapping my car but before I do that I have about 2-3 dents that I have to fix on my car for it to sit nice.

I have a dent on my hood, driver-side and one on my fender.

I've never done body work before besides sanding. Any recommendations/tips on fixing these up?


Thank you.

Unless, you are just dead set on buying tools, learning new skills etc. you might consider just going to a Paintless Dent Removal (PDR for short) shop and have them spoon those out. My local guy would drop by my home and do those both for $125 to $175 total. I do send him business so my pricing might be better than yours. Since you are going with a wrap you have to remember that if you did regular body work you'd still have to finish those areas for the wrap to stick right and, just my opinion, wrap shouldn't be applied to freshly painted surfaces which means at least a 30 to 90 day cure. If you go the paintless removal route you are good to go immediately.
