Thank you. Saskatchewan is a bit far but if you were close by I would be glad to help. In case you ever want to re-attempt it there are a few keys to making the repair, the foremost of which is patience...when I found myself about to settle for something less than perfect I walked away. This stupid little body shop tool kit I bought at Harbor Freight (maybe similar to Princess Auto up there?) was a key. It was inexpensive and has several hammers and body shaping blocks/punches that work in just about any kind of situation. With this type of tool set (maybe $20) I have found it possible to take care of this kind of thing, like a similar but worse dent in a boat trailer fender, with some patience and gentleness. Even after I thought it was good to go though and removed all the paint in the area, when it was carefully examined it was clear that it was not nearly perfect. So back to the tapping here and there over and over again until I could use sand paper to smooth out any irregularities on the outward facing side. After it was primed though, like magic the primer revealed some more uneveness and so back to step 1. Really after this though it is straightforward if you get the right color. Roxor has a list of paint codes but unfortunately the one they provide for the Sand color is not accurate. It is way too dark. But I imagine it may be accurate for the blue. Take the code to a paint store and have them run a sample for you or better yet, take a piece that is colored and take it along with the code. Here is another key: Ask the paint shop is they can put the paint in spray bomb for you or not. Some will and some wont. After you paint the area the edges whereever you masked it will need to be blended in with a few successively finer grades of wet sand paper. This is where the magic happens. All of a sudden boom it looks great.
