My right front fender is dented. One dent is where the turn signal is, and the other is on the fender lip above the wheel, so it is pushed in. I want to have it banged out because the paint is ok, anbd i dont have money to repaint it. How much would it be (ball park figure) to band these dents out? Thanks.

is its more than $40, go to sears and check out the 'ding king'. i have heard they do an alright job of getting dents out. just a thought.

or go to a bodyshop, they will know of companies that specialize in that kind of repair. The guy will tell you he can bring it back perfect, or partially.. and how much it'd cost you... I would say it is the best alternative to repair the fenders and paint them again

If you CAN...get to the inside of the fenders...
I had a few door dings on my car, all I did was get to the inside of the fender and massage the dents out, I used a super thick cloth and a metal rod I had laying around in my garage to gently push them out.

It all depends on the depth and size of the dents. DO NOT USE OR BUY THE DING KING!. It's a piece of junk and does not work. If the dent by the turn signal is small, the cost to repair it is the same as the ding king.
As a PDR tech, I can tell you that if the car is in great shape to the point that you want the small dents removed, don't do it yourself. Removing dents is an art form and is not something you can just "POP" out. I can't tell you how much it will cost without seeing the size of the dents, but the front fenders are wide open from the back in those areas and should not be hard to access. I work for Dent Wizard and do this every day and the dents don't go away as easily as they get put in.
The problem with using the Ding King and also a plunger or any other tools, is that the damage could turn around very easily and instead of having a smooth dent, have a rough garbage dent with high spots and low spots. These are more unsightly than a smooth dent.
They advertise the Ding King to be cheaper than the $450 set the pros use. I have the $450 set and it doesn't just "POP" dents out like they show on TV.
If you respect the car and it's appearance, go to a reputable dent removal company and get an estimate. You'll be surprised that it's cheaper than you think. Dent Wizard uses the best technique and will guarantee satisfaction or you don't pay.
