This wll happen in stages depending on the time I have. Since it has no effect on driving I am not in a rush. I was Side swiped by a 2013 White Toyota. Step one lets get the white Paint off the green car and see what we are working with. I used a Clay bar and a little hand rubbing compond on the hard to get places. I could have just buffed it but I am sure this clear is getting a little thin with age.

The plastic part of the body handled the impact pretty well. I did try a little Paintless repair on the metal but there is a crease that is hard to see and easy to feel right down the middle of the dents. I tried to hot glue adapters to allow me to pull without any luck. I could try to get it from behind but since I know I need to mix up paint to fix the door I will probably just weld in some pulling studs and pop it out proper.
I did cover up exposed metal and plastic with touch up paint. The dents are the most noticable part of the wreck. I think I may be able to just heat up the fender and get it back in shape.
