Grey made a DIY for small dents. you might want to look it up cuz im too lazy to think about how he did it. it's not hard at all.

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.
