Hey Chris, thats not that big of a dent ,so since youve allready picked up the kit Im thinking give it a go mate. I would say you will never get it as nice as if you had the pros do it but thats only because you havnt had enough practise. Looks like you did not too bad on your first atempt. But the repair needs to stay as small as possible and as far back from the door as possible. keep that in mind the whole time your working on the spot as the smaller the beter in this case .if you remove the tail light and sand the rest of the panel with 1000 grit ,you should be able to go from the resess line down. Try keeping the primmer patch two or three inches if possible then go slow with the color letting it dry if nessesary and lightly sanding with the super fine paper.when the patch is coverd blend it out dusting it further than the previous coat each pass. You will have to clear the entire panel from the resess line down to the top of the rocker panel.Try to get at least three coats on it so that it lasts longer and you might have to polish it later.My old teacher back in 72 would say color matching is like a good cup of tea the secrets in the blend.good luck and if you hadnt allready picked up the kit i would say find a paintless dent guy and sand the rusty bit then brush touch it and polish it . but practise makes perfect and it feels so good to say you did it yourself.Cheers Ray Newton PTEAZER.
