    I'm an idiot. I pulled my lawn mower in, hit the snow blower and it my 360. I have a small dent and a couple of scratches just in front of the wheel behind the passenger door. Seems like a crease. Looks like a rogue shopping cart hit it. Any idea as to what a ballpark price would be to fix this as proper as possible at the F dealer?

    Depends how deep the scratch.. If u can feel the scratch with your fingernail it probably needs paint work. if not, you can have it buffed out or wet sanded by a pro.. For the dent you need paintless dent repair

    The scratches are pretty minimal .. maybe hard to see them after buffing. The dent is strange. It's hard to see in low light, but looks horrible when the light hits it (probably typical for a dent). I may have small dents on the actual face of the wheel arch too.. the flat part.

    I'm such an idiot.

    The dents are less of a problem. I had a tiny scratch on the rear bumper which they completely removed and resprayed (but it was on someone else's insurance). Depends on your tolerance for blemishes. Sorry about the accident, but it was just that, and they happen. And yes, if you do go paintless, MUCH cheaper.

    I use colors on parade. It is a national company, but not all dealer are the same. I had some scratches and you can not see them at all, blended the paint perfectly, 400.00

    Thanks Laurence. My tolerance for blemishes is pretty low, but I'm trying to get better about it.

    PDR for dent. If it's just a surface scratch, dealer detailers can use a wet sander.

    Regarding the scratches, I would use 3000 grid sand paper and wet sand them. Buff the area with polish compound afterwards and you will be all set. There are so many videos on YouTube to show you how to properly wet sand a surface. Pretty easy. As far as the dent, call a dent removal professional. It will cost you $150-175 per panel. In your case you only have one panel. The whole thing it should cost you less than $200 plus you get the satisfaction of removing the scratches yourself.
