    Thanks for your input guys. A kid on his bike hit my car. I didnt' see it but a neighbor did. When I confronted the alleged kids parents his father more or less called me a liar by saying one of the dents couldnot have been done at the same time because it was oxidizing and "metal doesn't...

    how fast will a dent/scratch start to gather rust

    If your car gets dented and the paint scratched off about how long would it take before some minor rust starts to show on the metal under the paint? If temp and humidity have any factor its gets to about 55-60 degrees at night with dew collecting on the body up to about 80degrees in the day...
