Huge Dent + Patch Paint
Owned my GLE 3 weeks now and someone took a huge chip out of my driver's side door and the chip went down to the white. GRRRR. Looks like from the searching on the forum you can buy patch paint. I called dealer and it's $45. Anyone know if you can order this patch paint from MB online? I saw there's another company (Patch Paint) that sells products online but looking for MB patch paint. Also, if anyone has advice for this rock chip other than using patch paint I'm all ears.

Yes - depending on color - if non-metallic look for a reputable shop to respray the panel - about US$400 - if metallic about US$600 but needs to be REPUTABLE shop - like one referred to by the dealer

I think it all depends on how visibile is the dent, is it really that huge? if not, leave it as it is. People look at overall picture or the Benz sign more likely than pay close attention to that dent. again, feel bad for you as well
