Black3sr, your DIY touch-up looks fantastic!
Well, I went to the Honda dealership yesterday and bought a bottle of touch-up paint. My husband applied it but may sand it slightly and re-apply to get a smoother look.
Meanwhile, I took the car today to "Dent Doctor" and he said he could get the small dent out ("dime-size" he called it) and re-touch the paint ("Could do a bit of a better job than you.." said he. I didn't say my husband did it.
)
All for a very reasonable price of $136, including tax.
So I'll consider getting the dent removed and see what he can do. He said the other option was replacing that entire panel but quickly added, "I wouldn't do it."
I have to agree. It's a big expense for something so little. At least it's in a good spot where it's not obvious if you look at the car from the side.
If I do go to the "Dent Doctor," I'll post my "after" pics.
