Is there a dent, or is it purely surface?

This. They pained a saddle bag for me. Great work at a good price.

Is it just paint transfer? If it is you can gently use laquer thinner and rub it out. Be very careful and don't use too much pressure because it softens the clearcoat.

No, the paint is broken and is flaking off. But the plastic is not broken or creased. So maybe some light sanding and some good color matching would do the trick?

I will try to get a picture.

If there's no dent, lightly sand it 'til it's nice and smooth, then just repaint it. It'll look like new, if done correctly.

I don't think his mini-van is rattle can black, so it won't be quite that easy.

Would it be cheaper to get all the work done at once or cost more getting things done individually?

I also need to get my front bumper touched up and the 5 holes filled on my trunk lid/touched up. Was thinking of getting the bumper done now and lid this winter.

Don't be a dick, Ryan. Let Georgette Barris give bodywork tips.

IMO it would be easier to get it done all at once, then they only have to mix you paint 1 time.

I would prefer to do all the work at once, but I understand if it is not possible at the moment. Let me know when it is available to see the damage.
