Hey guys thanks for all help so far

When i bought my maxima 98 gold i had few dents here and there then this woman hits me on my side and dents the door abit it wasnt anything big 10mlp hit.. I was driving on street saw this guy he told me he can fix it for $250 i said ok why not since the body shop wanted $1500+

He went to some body shop and brought me a spray he did it all but said compund it and it will all wipe of and will look good i thought wow good job he leaves i have spots on sides and on bumper i went to a dealership they said he used wrong spray this car needs a custom maxima spray.. i said ok went to body shop for compund they said wont help u paint the dents for $1800 not even full body paint how gay..

my question is is compound really gonna be a mircale cream hehe?
will it help in another words


if i get a identical spray to the current one i have will it cover everything and stay on?

Thanks Any suggestions appriciated

 

Don't ever let those street peddlin' body work guys touch your car. You might need to paint those areas again...this time by the pros.

 

heh i learned my lesson dame guy riped me and asked for a tip.. so compund wont help forsure? since pro job is atleast $1500

 

Yeah... its them f*****g gypsies. If you drive around with damage on your car, they wont leave you alone!! They pull up next to you when your driving and start yelling.. "I'll fix your car cheap!" I have dealt with them in the past. I would NEVER let them go near my car. I have seen some of their expert work on other cars, and let me tell ya, my four year old niece could do a better job. Most of them do the bodywork right in the parking lot where your car is at, then use a can of spraypaint to finish it off. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

 

Really? where do you guys live? is this a serious problem?

just odd, that's all...

i have a dent in my passenger side firewall near the tire, and everytime i go somewehre, i always get bothered.....its ****ing annoying

 

FLO_BOY,

From their profiles, I would say this is happening in NJ, NY, and CT (prolly the entire northeast)... I guess the bodywork gypsies just haven't made their way to the south yet (I'm in Austin, never seen or heard of such a thing)

 

Ya, I had that hapen to me in NYC. Told me they would fix my hood for $1oo ( my corolla) they pulled it with a chain and ther van. Didnt do crap.

 

where do u live ? \

 

Never accept that kind of offer in the street.

The only way to get small dings out for about $100-200 is with paintless dent repair where they use a long hook-shaped tool that they push down between the window and the door skin and push the dent out.

I saw a strange device on an infomercial once - you put a dab of glue in the center of the dent, then use a small frame that pulls on the glued blob and pushes on the door around the edge of the dent using legs. Once the dent it pulled out you pour a special solvent on it to remove the glue. Sounds like a great idea if it actually works...
