Oh dear - possible respray?
Morning all, had a bit of a misshap at the weekend and bashed a bollard.
It dented the front passengers side wheel arch bit - or to be more specific the area right next to the headlights / side lights. Anyway ive managed to pop this out by removing the light and pushing the dent out ( it just popped out ). It doesnt look too bad but theres a slight crease where the curvature of the panel used to be.
Anyway ive taken the corner of the front bumper down to the black plastic unfortunately. Is it worth having a go at touching this up with my touch up paint or is it a professional job to fix? Would it be possible with a combination of building up the scratch with touch-up and then t-cutting the paint in to get a good finish - or would it never look anything but bodged?
Thanks
Adam

I'm getting pretty good at touching in stone chips and the like now, but what you describe is way, way more than I woud ever take on, and from the sound of it a bodyshop is definitey required if a decent repair is to be made.
