Stranger + BB gun + my car = .....

.... Well, I went to visit my brother in Dallas and was left with a wonderful souvenir--BB gun (or whatever it was) shots taking off some paint on the rear driver's side door and a spot of the roof rack. They were probably trying to hit my window--which I kinda wish they did hit instead. Any suggestions? Should I put some rust inhibitor on it and just touch-up paint or bondo and paint? I really don't know what to do and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! Please ignore the dates on the pictures.

(removed), that sucks! And to an Envy too! Correct me if I am wrong on the color. If an Envy, I would check with a body shop and see if that color can even be gotten. I say this since GM only sprayed that color for one year and do not know why Envy production was stopped. Well, it has started to rust already and it is a dent. To do it right, you need to have it filled, primed and painted. If you do it on your own, pull the dent with a kit, fill, prime and paint it may not last as long. Plus to do it right again, you need to go beyond what you see, making it bigger. In the end, I think you will pretty well see what you did, if you cna live with that look. The cheapo route would just be to prime and paint. I would just leave the roof rack dent alone.Glad no holes in the metal were made!

first of all, i have to say that envy is still one of my favorite vibe colors. second, i don't know if i'd bondo, or if that is too small for 'paintless dent removal' but i would definitely get some naval jelly or do something to keep the rust at bay.good luckoh, and fix your date on the digital camera

So confused.... Oh, and I probably just bought the last bottle of that color in all of Tennessee.

Though I due wish I asked the store manager if I could see their security camera tape and try to see who it was.I wish it was my neighborhood--I took the picture in front of the parental units house.
