Hi All

I have been reading through the posts here and I have to say you are a most helpful crew so maybe you can advise us.  We have some small bodywork dents (over zealous awning poles) as well as some small dents caused by DH reopening the awning rail after an encounter with the gatepost and using the panel to rest the screwdriver on to lever it open (doh!).  No pierced bodywork, just unsightly dents that we would like fixed.  Van is 2 years old and a Sterling Europa 530.  Any advice on whether these small dents can be repaired without a major sprayjob?

Polyester body filler,primer filler spray paint,wet and dry paper rub back,research original paint shade from manufacturer,aerosol paint spray feathered to match and then cut back with T cut to match.

Sounds easy,dunnit?Well,it IS relatively straightforward but google for some tutorials,Eastwood,a US company have some good ones and theres some on you tube and expert village.Or haynes do a bodywork book.
