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.

if it comes out perfect $550 seems reasonable.

Ive had it done on the rear quarters. Wouldn't know anything was there. For 70+ dents $550 sounds cheap.

Yeah $550 is cheap for 70 dents.

The guys in my area will get 20-250 per panel for hail work.

Most hail damage cars are about $1000-1500
