So while climbing up into the bed unloading some mulch this wknd, my shovel nipped the underside of the tailgate. It left this small dent/ding, and even though its small, its right at the top of the tailgate and my OCD is bothering me knowing that it is there haha.

Any advice on how to fix it? I took several pictures because shadows were making it hard to get a good pic.

 

Pdr and touch up paint. Likely 150 - 200$ tailgates can be a pita to pdr.

 

Live with it. It is only the first of many to come.

 

It's the dent that draws the eye not, the missing paint.

Persoanally, I'd remove the tailgate access on the inside of the bed, use a wooden dowel to press/roll the dent back out and then touch it up afterwards.
