The one I returned had a couple small scratch/dents. It was obviously returned before, since it had multiple layers of tape on the shipping box...
This is the one I sent back.
My original finish panel.
After putting many hours into removing the dents and scratches. A couple spots still need a little more work.
It's put it away for now. Might get it out and finish it some day... I used a little hammer and some deep 1/4" drive sockets as my dent removal tools.
I've never compared the weight.
My Finish Panel Before
After several hours and hours more needed...
I think a set of "Paintless Dent Removal" tools would work for some of the remaining imperfections... “¯\_(ツ)_/¯“
I just wanted to see if I could straighten it. Tap, tap, tap, Tap, tap, tap... Just takes time.
Anodizing, Painting, and/or Correctly Refinishing is another story.
