Okay, you basically use some lipstick to mark the center of the dent. Then you take some ice cubes and a hair dryer or heat gun. You get the dent really hot and then you roll the ice cube around the dent in a circle. You'll know where the center of the dent is by the lipstick. This will only work on small dents that are very symmetrical without any sharp edges. I got a dent not too long ago on the top of my trunk. I think I'll go do this now and see if I can get it out.

If a heat gun does the job, then a blow torch should do the job much better, right avenger? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

I tried to take out my dent and it worked a little bit, but this one has a slight crease in it, so I can't get it out all the way. I was going at it for like 20 minutes at least and I got bored, but I'll start up again later and see if I can work it out completely.

If that doesn't work, you can get someone who does "painless dent repair" to take all of them out for anywhere between $75-140. If you feel like coming down to Memphis, I can recomend a good guy. He does a lot of dent repair for showcars here.
