Default SHOOT! My first dent.

Moral? Never trust your friends with large metal objects in the direct vicinity of your car.

So my friend and I are putting a couple metal file cabinets into my trunk right? Well the dumbass doesn't lift it high enough and puts a beautiful dent into my right fender. Stupid idiot. So now there is a dent and a ruboff of tan paint on my mgrm. Whats the best stuff to use to get paint off of your paint?

that sucks. but i agree with bandit, pics!

the best advice i have is dont let stupid people near your car, but the paint might just rub off since its just file cabinet paint...

tried that. the fingernail is not working. and i might get yah pics. its not bad, but it takes away from my dent free exterior. i suppose it really doesn't matter, i mean, my car is rustier than all hell and has oxidized paint, i suppose i really shouldn't care, but this really bothers me.

I would first try a claybar then maybe some Scratch X. The claybar should do the trick and remove the paint.
