I've had a look at a few of the dent repairers online, but they all seem to say they can fix it if the paint's not been broken.
There's a small ding on the driver's door, which has been (badly) touched up with paint.
So I'm wondering how i go about getting it repaired. Presumably the techniques they use aren't going to fix the dodgy paint?
Does anyone have a suggestion as to who i can use or how i can get this fixed?

Ta.

Dentmaster to fix the dent
then Chips-Away to fix the paint

I'm sure there's someone that specialises in both areas of micro-repair

Dent Master now called Dent Wizard can remove the dent by using long thin metal tools in behind the panel concerened. The technique is to manipulate to dent outwards.

The reason they say "only if the paint hasnt been broken" is that it can actually cause more paint to come away.

Also, this technique isnt brilliant for "sharp" dents or dents with deep creases.

Dent Wizard charge by the panel, so its more cost effective to save up your dents and get a couple or three done at a time (if theyre in the same panel).

Depending on where your dent is and how "sharp" it is, its either dent wizard and a good touch up or a bodyshop.

Hope this helps
