So I picked this up the other day along with another one and this one has an issue (Pictures), someone went at it with the jack and dented it big time. Not to mention it crack and flaked off the finish (Poly?) to the point of no return.
It is a tinted finish, I popped a piece up to check it out. Some my dilemma is, going about the taping off of the segments and not allowing the tint base to creep underneath the tape line and foobar the other portion. Any good advice will be appreciated, what tapes to use, how to ensure a good straight line, preventing bleed thru, etc.
There is also surface damage in this area, any ideas on how to raise this area or a fill, blend, fuax finish?
As one can see someone attempted to stain the afflicted area,
That being said, I will most likely use Behlen products, Sealer (VINYL Clear LACQUER SEALER) , Tint (B103-509 - Aerosol - Master Toner, DARK WALNUT), Clear coat (Ultra-Flo Ultra® Bond Satin).

At best it would seem that you'll have to remove at least that side of the finish (at the laminate), sand and possibly need to fill the dents/holes and do your best to match the colour and clear-coat. Otherwise, the whole body needs refinishing. Unless you're a master finisher, you'll be lucky in doing a spot-patch job to make it disappear. Good luck whatever you choose.
