Prang damage DIY repair
Discussion
Backed into a post at the multi-storey. Proper repair quotes are expensive.
Could anyone recomment a product I could buy and do myself that would do a decent job? Im just looking for it to not be obvious, not looking for perfection. Was hoping Turtle Wax chip-stick kind of thing might do it but doesnt seem to exist anymore. Think Id make a mess of it with a spray

Looks as if it is not too deep, try filling it with cellulose putty it is just a very fine filler used to fill bubbles and minor imperfections in the body filler, use a coarse paper with a light touch to provide a key.
Find a local car paint supplier who can match the paint and they supply a decent aerosol can with a decent nozzle and you can achieve a good finish. Both primer, finished colour and lacquer
As often said it is all about the prep and your patience.
The above will cost roughly £40, have you got an estimate from chipsaway? Or even better someone who has had a franchise, gained experience then gone on his own.

I’ve spent the last ten minutes trying to figure out what car this is…is it a Jaguar XK with aftermarket rear lights?!
Nicely worked out! The op, in his last previous post spoke about his car which turns out to be an XKR.On the image I now see a J and the bottom of what could be an A

Anything DIY you put on that is going to look 
Have a chat with some local smart repairers I bet they won’t be too much for that.
Really, that's the right answer.Have a chat with some local smart repairers I bet they won’t be too much for that.
DIY repair of that to a standard that you won't hate yourself for would be difficult. I do a fair bit of DIY bodywork, and I wouldn't attempt that.
