That color of red is much better for sure.
There is no reason to replace that bedside with a reproduction if you did a nice job patching it.

I think so for sure about the color. We will see just how the bed sides turn out.

If it has lots of other dents and dings, no problem man just break out the stud gun and slide hammer and go to work you can whip it in to shape in no time.
I have seen some miracle shizzle, have you seen that commercial where the riding lawn mower sprays the side of that truck with landscape rock, well I saw a bedside that looked like that and the guy took a stud gun and slide hammer and worked it all out to where you couldn't even tell it had ever been damaged.

I don't know if I have those types of skills lol. I am working with someone else's patchwork to start with unfortunately. That is what sucks. I will make the best of it though.

It is soooooo easy you won't understand how you never tried it before, Vic gave me a introductory course in using a stud gun and slide hammer and I swear it's as easy as falling off a log.
You work the dent from the deepest part out to the shallowest, it's easy man.

I will see what they look like once I patch them. I have to see how much warpage I have. The previous "body man" (loosely used term) LOVED bondo for sure. I think he liked to weld solid then make it look ok with mud.
