I did almost the same thing. I took it to a body shop and paid them $25 (yes twenty-five) to straighten it out. I told them "just make it straight, I don't care about the finish" Then I took it down to my truck stuff store and had that spray in bedliner put on and that covered up the whole mess. I later found out that a local paint place would have re-painted my (prepped) tailgate for under 50 bucks. Total = much less than the $300 that I was quoted to do the whole fix at one shop [kind-of makes you wonder]

I just bent the hell out of the top of my tailgate. I dropped a 300lb
roll of fence on it and it bent the top and chipped the paint pretty
bad. Now for the question: Anyone have any idea how much this would
cost to get fixed, or does anybody have a patriot blue tailgate that
they want to sell that will fit my 2001 QC?
Any advice would be appreciated
Jason
