I've had it done and was able to watch the guy do it. It is an art which will require an extensive amount of practice to achieve perfection IMO.

I have had zero paint issues after I had it done 2.5 years ago.

$550 sounds high. What vehicle is it on and how bad is it?

I've got a few good size door dings and I'm going to have them done by a paintless dent remover. I'll let you know what I find out.

i had a ding removed on my 1le that my selling dealer agreed to take care of and you cant tell anything was ever there.

if it comes out perfect $550 seems reasonable.
