Panel & Paint tidy up?

Hey everyone.
Im a newbie to the forum and was wondering if someone could help me out
My 99 bounty gets its fair share of abuse off road, in fact there is hardly a straight panel on it!
Im looking at giving it a tidy up, however I only want the worst dents out and quick a re-spray (white). Been to a few panel n paint shops but they quote like $6000+ I try to explain I don't want show room quality as it will be going bush wacking again. Just needs a "spruce up" so it looks semi-respectable
Any ideas will be much appreciated

Cheers

do the labour yourself i.e taking off doors, sanding & bogging yourself. takes a fair chunk out of cost.

Then paint with a home air compressor (or rattle cans) thats what my old LN106 hilux gets, it looks great, from a distance :D

What he said

Like you said, its a bush truck, and use a Matt finish paint, easier to apply and won't show up imperfections as much as gloss does.
