fixing minor dent

[Jane Doe]

is the messy isopon the only filler still? Is there anything easier to repair a minor dent in my car? its a metallic colour. Where do I find out the colour for exact match? Thanks

i'd imagine it should be on the vin plate. Should be in code e.g. DF9. A motor factors should be able to match the colour as long as you have the code.

could the dent be panel beaten out?

... on the vin plate...

Correct, but patching metallic colours can be difficult; minor damage may mean having a full panel resprayed.
