Default What would you do?

Well recently I got out of work and found 3 small dents in my fender..

It looks as if someone decided to use my car as a seat for their fat ass.. Well.. I know if i take it to have it fixed its going to cost a lot of money and the paint may possibly be noticeable..

Can you get a factory painted fender from the dealer? What are my options here?

i would save up my money, sand the car myself and go get it painted the factory color for around $1500.00-2000.00 (with no orange peel) and park away from everyone else from then on.

Paint the entire car because 1 fender has like 3 palm sized dents?

yes, cause you won't be able to match the paint with the weathered paint, so the only way to blend it in is to paint the whole car, if you paint the fender only then you will be able to tell the difference from the rest of the car....then again thats what i would do,

look around for totalled out srt4's you may find the right color fender with a really low price tag. i would suggest ebay, salvages yards near you, etc.

any good painter can blend that fender w/o havin' to paint the whole car. There's no need to paint the whole car bro. Take it to a body shop and they will tell ya the same thing.
