Styling dented bodywork- alternatives to respray- ideas?

[Donal]

Just bought a 98 seicento with only 40k on the clock. Its been very thoroughly valeted so interior looks fine. However there are many small dents on the bodywork. A respray would be ideal but out of my budget at the mo.

However I do have a vinyl sign maker. Have you got any ideas about how I could use vinyl stickers to hide the dents? How about covering the whole car with stars or something similar?

why not use a dent removing company????

would be a hell of a lot cheaper and look better than most vinyls

I think you would seriously affect resale value if the car was covered in stars. Agree woth the above post, if the dents arent too deep a panel beater or a company called dentmasters or others could sort something out

yes, i think you both are right. I have made up some silver stripes, nothing too fancy. The car is black. When I have spare cash I will get it resprayed.
Will post pics when I put stripes on.
