My apologies, your user name looks like someone that I personally know and would’ve understood that inside joke. I currently don’t have any videos out right now showing how to remove the inner trim on the quarter panel. There will be “how-to” videos hopefully coming out soon and I will make sure that is one of them!

I wish I could take my model 3 to you, but I am in China. With about the same damage local shops want to respray the whole quarter panel which I don’t really want to. Could you just comment if such a local respray is much harder to match or why would a shop want to respray the whole part?

[@AutoBodyDoctor]

If the damage on the quarter panel is within 4-6 inches of the door, then that requires the door to be blended with paint. It’s a three stage paint which means it is a more difficult color to match and cost more. It is very normal for shops to blend panels next to the damaged panel.

Wow!!! Im from Seattle, how can I reach out to you for an estimate? Thanks!

[@AutoBodyDoctor]

If you could send an email to me(located in my bio) with your personal information and an idea of what needs to be worked on, then I could get you a scheduled appointment. Photos of the vehicle and its damage would also help.
