bumper dent repair
Nevermind the filth on the car...is this dent a DIY pop out? I'm not too worried about the paint at this point.

It doesn't look creased to bad so you should be able to pop that out. Not sure about the paint or not.

Yeah, you should be able to fix that yourself.... Just take your time to knock it out if you want it nicely done.

Yeah...especially when it was my wife's car... ! At least I hit a corner that she had previously used to attempt to move a trash dumpster. That's what happens when you back out of a garage without looking after a night of trying to get a newborn to stop crying...

The paint is pretty cracked, so I anticipate it flaking off eventually after I pop the damned dent out tonight.
