Finally fixed the bullet hole!

[m0nch1zzl3]

Maybe some of you guys might remember when I got shot at on the highway on my way home one night. Well I never got around to covering one of the holes from the gun shots. And after many months of seeing that hole and reminding me of that night, I finally got tired of it and decided to fix it once and for all.

You can see that it went thru right there.

Masking the area off.

I thought the bullet blew a hole thru the arch, but it just bended small parts back, so with some patience and different sized nose pliers I carefully bent the pieces back into place.

After aligning it all back I applied some body filler and sanded it down.

Some coats of primer and some light sanding.

Added some touch up paint

And finally!

Still can stop it man you should of put filler or fiber glass and then get it all level and after that you should of sprayed it

Yeah i know, but its a temp fix for now. The body shop that painted my car quoted me 500 and well thats seemed too much.

Tell me that again when you have bullet holes in your car. Haha. Ive got too many expenses right now to be dropping 5 bills on a hole at a body shop.
