I fix it.

This past weekend the new truck got it's first ding, I think at the lowes parking lot.


I'm not sure it's worth the $500 insurance deductible to get it fixed. I had called a couple of paint-less dent removal places, but none of them wanted to work on it since the scratches are into the metal and the fact it is aluminum.

Today I had an order show up from a shop on Etsy that I had ordered back when I had the F150 with the squirrel damage. One of the smaller stickers came in handy for the uglier scratch.


I may just have the larger one filled and do a rhino coating or something on the lower half of the truck later on, but for now a band aid will do.

The larger sticker went on the back bumper...

That would look good on the back of the saddle bag.

 

[Dave Hoskins]

That would look good anywhere!!!

Uh-oh! I showed LOML the pictures and she loved them, so now I'm going to have to show her the Etsy shop. They have a ton of choices.

Bummer about the truck, but I really like the way you fixed it.

Just know they are shipped from the Ukraine, so they take a bit to get. I also used PayPal to avoid exposing the cc.

I hate that first ding. Wondered how the aluminum bodies would hold up in parking lots. The decal is a cool fix.

There's a surprise for me, I thought only the F150s had the aluminum body. I may have to rethink buying an F250. Anyway, I thought that was a clever and funny solution.

When ambulances get dinged (sometimes much more severely than your truck) it's common that Band-Aids are applied to the ding, dent, rip, or whatever. I had a photo of this, but can't find it now.

If I had the time to paint these......... like I need something else to do. But I have been thinking of painting something on the bike.
Thanks Darren.

What ever hit it, hit it pretty hard or at least had some weight behind it to stretch the scratch like it did, not a shopping cart. I had the grandson hit my F150 with his bike a few times where I thought it would have left a mark, but never did.
