[Shotimes] re: hail damage

[Donald Mallinson]

Guaranteed that a good paintless dent repair shop is cheaper 
than any paint work you can have done, and how long is that 
paint going to last?  when will the body putty start 
cracking/shrinking and falling out?  How good will a repaint 
be?  Most repaints chip a lot worse than factory paint.

Also, a salvage title insures that any money put into your 
"bought back" SHO will never result in any decent resale value.

GEt an estimate from a good paintless dent repair shop, I 
think you are the one I gave a phone number to from a shop 
in my area that did my car, they might be able to tell you 
where there is a good shop in your area, or better yet, if 
the guy that did my car will be near you soon.
