Hey all,
Had a small metal object fall on the shroud of my Austin Healey up close to windshield and despite the best efforts of a great paintless fix a dent guy, still have a 'crease' about 3/4 inch long by 3/32 wide and no deeper than a 1/16 deep. The aluminum front shroud actually was harder to completely get rid of the original dent versus a typical steel body panel. I have been thinking of maybe filling in the crease with multiple layers of touch up paint and then trying to sand it level with 1000 grit paper, then buff out. Any other ideas as otherwise my only option is to repaint the entire front shroud with all the work to remove all trim plus obvious expense ?
Thanks,
Mike
