Dent N' Door

ok guys, i have a nice size dent in my passenger side door. it is about 8 inches below the side mirror. what ways can i pull this out w/o taking it to someone to get it pulled? i think it will leave a crease, but i dont mind... it cant look much worse.
peace
john

how big is the dent? maybe you could try the ding king. i have no idea how good this thing works, but it's only $30 and claims to pull dents without damaging paint. http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/ding_king.html

my friend bought it, however he decided not to follow the directions and try to get some dents out when it was like 30 degrees F outside! the thing froze to his rear hatch and took the paint off with it.

if it's big enuff, just use a toilet plunger. Souns goofy, but it works.

Whay waste $40 on a piece of crap tool that doesn't work? If the dent is smaller than your fist, Dent Wizard can make it disappear for alot less than a body shop. I have removed dents that completely caved in the front fender and it's worth it to have it completely gone. Before you make the damage worse by trying this yourself, go to your local Dent Wizard office and get an estimate. You might be surprised.

But after the screw left a hole in the panel, you need body filler, time, and paint. Good luck blending a quality paint job, too. If the damage isn't excessively severe, it can be removed without a trace of the damage and without paint!
