Default Bent tailgate corner

Probably a seat tee branch. Bent out the lip. Bent it back and a nice pierce of paint flaked off. Was going to fill it in but same price to have a shop fill in than to but the touchup paint primer sandpaper etc.

I am not looking to fix the debt. But was thinking maybe to bedline the lower few inches of the gate.

Has anybody done this or have any pictures?

Seen a lot of guys do corner armor to cover rear end damage.

If it's actually on the gate, that won't help.

Mind posting a picture?

A reputable body shop says they can blend the corner for 100. Don't care about the dent. Andrew
