Any dent removal guys/gals around? Don't know why he doesn't want to do this job. He was at the car before and removed about 8 small dings for about 70 quid or something. He said regarding the ones on my roof rail that i'd be cheaper getting them painted?
Why? There are plenty of access holes to get behind the dents, and i know what painters are like, two quarter panels will need done and this, that and the other will need blended in.
Three light dings on passenger roof rail, one on driver's side.

Looks like a bodyshop job to me.

Probably doesn’t want to spend all day getting it right. I’d get a few more professional opinions

It's quite simple,

Roof rails are a pain to PDR he will take hours doing it and can earn more money doing wing and door dents etc.

Add to that the stripping and fitting, maybe curtain airbags to work around or remove you can see why he doesn't need the aggro.

My PDR guy is booked up weeks ahead as are most of the others I use.

I suggest you take the advice of your dent man.
