My lovely wife...grrr...parked in a parking lot and now I have 2 (pretty good size) dents on my passenger front panel.

How do I remove those without going to a body shop and paying WAY too much money? Please let me know...it doesn't have to be perfect just not a deep!

Thanks

 

I learned that unless you really know what you are doing with body work you are often better off to just pay someone to fix it. I'd go to see a Painless dent removal place. They aren't usually very expensive if they can get it out. If not you may have to go to a body shop which may get expensive.

 

That is not the reply I wanted....

She gonna owe me one!

 

I have had some dents on my trucks fixed by a paintless dent repair (Colors on Parade). It is amazing how good of a job they do. What I did is contacted a local new car dealership and found out when he was going to be in town and just met him there. It is cheaper than going to thier shop,and they fix it right on the spot. Is your paint scratched? The worst dents I had came from a tree limb being blown onto the hood during a wind storm. I really didn't think he could fix it, but after he got through you couldn't even tell it was there. I think he charged around $230.00 to fix it.

 

There is NO paint damage! Just two larger dents from someone's car...err I think truck door! And a smaller one right next it!


Anyone in the Oregon area that could recommend someone?

 

I have tried the 'dry ice' method on the outside of the dent
without much success
but you can do a YouTube search
and find people who claim that worked for them,
and some have told me I should have tried the dry ice
on the inner surface and pushed outward.

If your truck's dents are on the door
and you can get at the backside by removing the door panel
you might explore that.

enough bricks of dry ice to fill a small cooler
is usually less than $15
and you can also use it to freeze off warts
or blow up 2L coke bottles


I have also been told that those cheap $25 DIY dent removal kits
where you glue the screw-press frame on
work better when pushing outward from the inner surface too.

 

I've heard not to do the dry ice method as it can make the paint seperate from the body when pulling the dent out.

If you have no paint damage maye the painless dent repair can fix it. Are there any creases?

 

None that I can tell....think I just need to do a local search for painless dent repair.

 

Now TAKE AWAY her keys!
