Default Freshly Painted Rear Trunk.. Then it was shot..

I had my whole back end of the car repainted and I spent quite a nice chunk of change for it.

I was at a buddies house and he shot my car with an airsoft gun on accident.

My question is, Can I get paintless dent removal to take care of it?

Or is the paint so fresh that the airsoft BB mark indented into the fresh paint?

Please let me know!

Thank you.

Also what's a good price for paintless dent removal on both doors, and both rear quarter panels?

Like 300-400?

How about a photo. If the paint is not chipped or cracked it can be fixed. As for price if its one dent easy to get too then $ 100-150 at the most

I've included a picture here.

Should I wait a few weeks for paintless dent removal to let the paint set in and ensure no damage is done to the paint?

Also, the paint is FLAWLESS, the tiny specs are just dust haha, so don't be alarmed.

Call the dent removal guy and ask him. He knows better than us.

1) that is a crazy looking picture
2) it looks like all the paint is still there. no metal showing through so that is a good thing.
so yes, it looks like you could get the dent repaired without damaging the paint.
