So I did something stupid and got a dent on the tailgate of the new truck. I set a battery pack from my drill on the bumper while I was hooking up the trailer in the dark, forgot about it and lowered the tailgate resulting in a quarter size dent. I couldn't live with it so called the guy I know at the GMC dealer and got the number of a PDR guy they think does the best job for them. He came to the house, took the tailgate off and set it in the bed to get access to a hole in the bottom and massaged the dent out. These tailgates are aluminum so he had to work at it for a while and heated it up some to help the paint and maybe help the aluminum move easier. It's pretty amazing, definitely skill and art involved. In the end the dent is gone except for a tiny little flaw in the paint that I really have to look for to find. The dent photo makes the paint surface look pretty bad but it's not, must have been the angle or something. I know lots of people wouldn't bother but this is the only vehicle I'll ever order and probably the last new one, and I'm just fussy.
