An old trick matey...........
Apply filler
slightly higher than surrounding area......sneak into the other half's domain and pinch the glad wrap outa the kitchen before the missis spots you......... apply over the filler and pull the filler into shape using the glad wrap and stick to the surrounding area to be filled. Leave for 15 to 30 mins depending on the filler your using before removing the film
Fark........You lot will soon have picked me brains clean

No but I once pulled a
dint out of 1
I'll talk you thru it at Halls Gap..............2nd thoughts neither of us would remember
Drain fuel........Flush with copious amounts of water to remove all traces of fuel....weld a bolt to the centre of the dint and attatch to slide hammer.......pull it out ( oooo errr missis), grind off bolt carefully fill, sand & paint to match surrounding area
IF only it was as easy as typing instructions

Mate, it is a green that I got the dude to make up on the bench.... just kept saying.... more green or more mettalic..... I am happy with the colour though!
Can't wait to get the bbbiatch finished though! I almost died in my dodgy tent of death spray booth that i made up... lol, was funnier when I realised I also had a 3m x 3m green patch of driveway.........
