Hey,
Long story short my dad let me borrow his 05 Laramie dispel 2005 truck. This thing is his baby, with only 51k miles on it. While borrowing it, i backed up into a concrete pole in the parking lot. Don't ask this thing was three feet and I'm all to blame. Anyway how do i fix this? Ill post some pictures of the damage. It hit right under the bed where the trim meets the curved underside. Please help me, i really want this car int he future and hope to earn his approval from fixing my mistake.

Unless you are proficient in body repair and paint, you will need to take it to someone who can do the needed work, or to a body shop.:waytogo:

Where do you live? That would "probably" cost me about 4-500 dollars to fix where I live. They will have to blend the paint etc so it is why it usually costs a good penny for stuff like that.

I'm located in the Denver area. The the paint around the damage is flaky. Kind of like micro tears that pull of in little strips.

Paint and body work will most likely cost a grand or 2. Get it done right the first time and not worry about it until those despicable posts decide to jump out into your way again.

Seeing as it is just that back corner piece a good body shop may be able to replace just that lower piece for cheap. It would be better than bondo for sure.
