Petrol tank dent repair costs?

[barriejames]

Hi Can anyone give a ball park figure to repair a small dent in my 636 tank? Just wondered what the costs would likely be I think double skinned so might rule out PDR system

It'll need filling then repainting, probably £300 if you want the original stickers, its really not worth fixing in my opinion, every bike has a dent/scratch somewhere.

you could try dropping a lit match into the tank, that'll probably blow the dent out

What dent?

[pozi]

That's not a dent, just wait until a spare exhaust can does a lemming impression off a shelf and lands on your tank, now that leaves a dent

[barriejames]

Point taken but its a 9k machine with 30 miles on the clock so needs to be sorted

Wait until you sell it, then fix all the cosmetic damage at once. If you fix it now, sod's law says some scooterist will undo your good work.

I can't see it being double-skinned; it'd add weight for starters...

PDR can be done from the outside, so double skinning isnt an issue.

There's a company in T Wells that does PDR using a glue patch technique - charges £60 or so a dent and no charge if they can't do it.

The owner is also a track day rider, so has an interest in bikes. Opposite the Skoda dealership in High Brooms.

I'd get rid of that big black circle first, if I were you.

Don't suppose you have the name of these guys? I'm literally just down the road and it'll be interesting to know the size of dent they can fix.
