Ideas?

A 3/4" stone was catapulted into my door the other day by my weed wacker > :'( My truck otherwise is mint, A couple of inches higher would have been better since it would have taken out the window instead. Now i know of paintless dent removal, but there are 3 deep chips too. :-[ I'm afraid that the whole door may need paint because a blend may look crappy. Any ideas?? :

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!

Ouch, that hurts! :'( Hope someone has a good answer for you because I don't. I have a few small scratches in my soft paint already and tried to touch them up with the dealer supplied touch up paint. With my color the match is not that good so can be seen, however it is better then the primer showing thru.

You think this system may work for your paint chip repair? I can't remember where I originally saw (It was another auto forum) it but the people using it was raving about how well it worked.

Maybe a combination of the paintless dent removal to smooth the surface, then touch up paint smoothed by the langka biloba stuff. I too have heard rave reviews about the langka stuff.

I used Dent Wizzard to repair a dent on my previous truck. They did a geat job but the paint was not chipped. You will probably have to go with a conventional repair on this one.
