i was reading a different thread and someone (i dont reamember who) said hair dryer and upsidedown compressed air can can take out dents???? does anyone know about this or other diy dent removal? I have a few small door dings that **** me off but i dont want to pay for the paintless removal... and i also have a "pimple" on my trunk, basically i tried popping out a dent with the "as seen on tv thing" (dont ever try this) and it actually popped the dent outwards..... yes yes i know that was stupid :/ i learned....

No matter the DIY method.. your dent is still going to be there no matter if its concave or convex... there really isnt much you can do yourself with out forking up some money to have it look nice. The metal is streached.

daaammmn that seems hella easy.. did they spray the co2 directly on the dent? it was hard to tell. Oh and im not expecting for it to be completly gone, i know they wont i just want them less noticable. Hondas are pretty much made of tin foil... i park very carefully now

he heated up the dent and the area around it, then sprayed the compressed air directly on the dent. i've read mixed results though, but it probably wouldn't hurt anything so it's worth a try.

yea i was just tryin to read up if there were anyother forums about this and i couldnt find any, maybe ill try it on my friends car first, he is getting his fully dent repaired soon so it can be messed up i really hope it does work though cus id rather not spend $50 per dent when theyre soooo small....

Now you know why they cost so much to repair- they are a pain in the ***.

I've actually had plans on trying out that compressed air removal on my sisters car- 89 corolla.

What would happen if there was a slight crease in the dent??? Would it harm the panel more???

It all depends on the dent and where it's at. But if you have a crease on the dent, than forget about it. I've seen it done before and it DOES work. Just depends on how hardcore the dent is....or not.

My sisters fender had the crater of a light pole in it and creased the metal... had to take the panel off, sand it down, hammer it out, prime and re paint.

the DIY only works on areas where the metal is flexible, also the dent must of not creased the metal

So I guess this wont work with dings.

it will not, there is a thread regarding this video over at HT and several guys have tried it and no avail, unfortunately the dings are too small for the heat and the sudden cold to have an averse effect

you guys know about the dry ice method right that works pretty well i have had a lot of good results with that.

i gave it a try on a couple different dents, didnt have any luck... went and got an estimate on 1 dent, only about 1" on the trunk, and the price was $130.....
