Angry Someone dinged me, ideas for fix?

Hi everyone,

Some teenagers partying outside the other night managed to put a big round dimple in the side of my TA, right next to the automatically-forming dimple "feature" in the quarter panel. Luckily I have about 20 coats of wax on it so all I had to do was buff it a little to get the white paint off, but the big dimple remains. Any ideas for a simple fix without having to pay like $900 for a bodywork specialist?

Take it to a "paintless dent repair" place. They will tell you if they can do anything with it.

Thanks guys, I'll check in the yaller pages...



Fifty sounds a lot better than the couple o' hundred I've been quoted in the past for repairs on another vehicle. Luckily I was out of vaseline that day.
