Drivers Side Front Dent Fix???
Do y’all think I could be able to fix that on my own or would it need professional repair?

That is a decent crease. It will need body work and repaint. If that is not in your skill set, you will need a professional shop.

Thank you for the correct description on the kind of damage it has, I’ll definitely keep in mind about how much I’d be paying to get it done, in a very tight spot right now.

Depends on how picky you are. You can make it look a lot better, but you will never get that paint to match completely from a rattle can, even color matched rattle can.
But you won't lose much by doing what you can and getting it done professionally later. |

Yeah I highly doubt I could even get it paint matched just by a rattle can at all too but for sure for sure on the getting it done later down the road.

I rattle can fixed a dent on my metallic silver daily driver about 6 months ago. You can't tell the difference when the car is dirty, but it shows up when it's clean.

If you have to ask, your better off letting someone else do it-bodywork its an art. I had my own Bodyshop in the late 70's early 80's things have changed a lot but if I were doing it I would replace it with an OEM fender instead of trying to fix it. Nothing wrong with filler if its used correctly but in your case it's not cost effective. I would also go with a used junkyard take off over new OEM due to fit.........DO NOT waste your time and money on aftermarket panels.

If the fender is going to be replaced at some point, even more of a reason to give it a shot as DIY if you are short of money.

When my fender got damaged, I got a prepainted replacement at paintapart.com.
Great paint match and it fit perfectly. They run $469, if that's cheaper than the body work would be... |
