Hood Attacked By An Oil Filter
Posted: Thu May 10, 2012 1:21 pm
I was putting some oil filters on a shelf in my garage rafters. I pushed the car back about 5 feet so I could place the stepladder between the car & the shelf, and was climbing the ladder when -plop - one of the boxes opened at the bottom, the filter fell out, bounced off the ladder, and directly on the car hood. Ouch! Now there's a small (but noticeable) dent in an otherwise pristine hood.
I'm not sure if there was any paint damage. The center of the dent looks like a light grey (my car is CD Silver). However, if I run my fingernail over the spot, there's no roughness; nor can you feel the edge, if indeed there was any paint removed.
I don't know if paintless dent removal is even an option, since there is a structural member on the underside of the hood that completely covers the area of the dent.
Sometimes if it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all!
Ideas, please.
