The 600,000 Mile Lexus is Back from The Body Shop. Things Are Not Well...

[@ronaldkulas5748]

About 10 years ago I hired a Paintless Dent repairman to fix the hood (hail damage) of the car I was giving to my daughter. He did a fantastic job, and I was completely satisfied. In fact, he fixed an older, monster ding which I never imagined he could fix. It was a great decision to hire the Paintless guy.

[@tomc8115]

My Porsche 911 got caught in a hail storm. PDR guys got it back to me looking better than before. Don't skimp on costs. Ask around, find the best and let them do their magic.

[@WayneHatfieldBrotherRidge]

I had a dent removed out of the tailgate of my Toyota Tacoma with paintless dent repair he did an excellent job and you couldn't see where the dent was in the paint was not cracked and looked excellent even underneath different light conditions. I referred him to my brother which had door dings in his Ford truck. He did an excellent job on it also. Paintless body repair is an excellent thing if you find the right person.

[@wawalker1]

I did have the same experience with hail. And I was very happy with the result.

[@tomc8115]

@@wawalker1 Great news. If there is a high end car dealer, Porsche or such, ask their service people who they use. I asked a friend of a friend who knew the Ferrari service folks and they hooked me up with a great company. It was not fast or cheap, but they were top notch, professional, worked seamlessly with insurance company, etc. There's a lot of places to save money and DIY on a car, but PDR is not one of them in my opinion.

[@Shizzle700]

The hood is the most seen part of the car. It's often difficult and labor intensive. The hood is subject to warping because it's such a large flat surface. I don't know how many dents it has or what kind of damage but the old school method is to swell out the dents with heat and rapidly cool with a wet rag. Metal finishing, primer, and blocking is necessary to bring it back. Then a complete repaint to finish. If the dent repair guy can't handle it I would get a few estimates from a known restorer in the area. What may look too intense for one shop may be cake to another.

My 2005 Ford Excursion was in a horrendous hailstorm back in 2006. The hail was golf-ball sized. It was going to cost the insurance company $22,000 dollars to cut the roof off and replace the hood. The paintless dent repair guy charged $3,500.00 and dropped the headliner and completely repaired the damage; it was perfect. I think that is a good option. GREAT VIDEO!

[@agostinodibella9939]

I when guess watching any professional do a job, they make it look easy. When you try to do it yourself you find out how difficult some things are to do and all the different issues that can come up. You then appreciate the experience and knowledge that the professional has. For a 2001, the styling on this car still looks great today, maybe better than some new cars.

[@laurat1129]

Speaking of Camrys, my parents have an '07 and an '09. At the moment, I'm digitizing our family documents and going through the paperwork for both cars. Except for my own 25 yr-old Saab, these Toyotas are the oldest cars we've ever had, and as I understand it, these MYs weren't even the best. They had the typical problems early on, but these were resolved under warranty. The cars are reliable daily drivers, and I still see plenty of them on the roads here in NE. If you have a car that was engineered from the start, then maintain, service, and use only OEM parts, it will last as long as you want.

It IS so hard to match old vs new paint. I think the side of the back bumper looks SO MUCH better! Your Lexus is looking SUPER! Nicely done! 👍

[@vg3430]

Actually, it’s very easy if you are using modern equipment utilizing laser analyzers and a quality paint system. I mean, if I can bring in a paint chip to a hardware store and they can match that paint perfectly in 10 mins, any quality body shop will be able to do the same.

[@jswjr6001]

​@@vg3430 I think the bigger problem is when you have an item like a bumper, that can be next to three different body panels. The hood, roof, and trunk, flatter surfaces, may fade differently then the fenders.

As the owner of a 23 year old Chrysler Sebring Convertible Limited that I bought new, I LOVE this project!! My Sebring doesn't have 630k miles, only 120k, and it runs/drives like it did 23 years ago....due to really good maintenance.

God bless you for sure, sure hope that car gives you plenty of enjoyment after the endless hours and money invested. Loved the part where you forgot the bumper styrofoam liner, just proves you are human as well.

[@fleetwin1]

Couldn't follow what you were trying to accomplish with the trunk lid. Did the body guy actually check out the rear of the car to see if it had been pushed in/damaged/repaired? Perhaps this is why you are struggling with the trunk. I struggle with even the smallest details as well, but they are so important.

A bodyshop secret is if you can get dry ice. Run dry ice over the little hail dents and the dry ice will pop them out without ruining the paint.

There was 10 bolts holding the bottom of the bumper cover to the lower splash shields, 3 plastic clips and 2 screws holding the top of the bumper cover to the radiator support and four plastic clips holding the bumper cover to the fenders. I was able to remove the old bumper cover and install the new one in less than two hours. I'm no body guy either. Just watched a bunch of KZbin videos.

I’d be searching for another body shop. Paint matching in a modernized body shop is super simple and all laser/computer based. The body shop doesn’t use a PDR guy??? In addition, not fixing the trunk striker was another strike (no pun intended). Plus, when you dropped the car off, the owner certainly didn’t come across as an experienced professional…after all, you only get one chance at a first impression.

[@rafaelponce8218]

To check where the striker hits it's always good to use a bit of masking tape to realign it. It'll mark it and give you a better idea where to move it to.

I'm an antique body man. In the 70s and 80s GM and especially Cadillac used twice as many bolts as any other brand to hold body panels on.
