advise on how to pound out dents
hey guys. I need help on how to pound out dents. I have small to big dents around the hole car. I really know nothing about body work and need some tips. I have one big dent can i just hammer it out from the inside.

Re: advise on how to pound out dents
the process all depends on the location and the right hammer and dolley. for a big dent I'd reccomend a slide hammer.

Re: advise on how to pound out dents
most likely you cannot hammer out a dent! you could make it smaller or look a little better but you will still need to do body work and paint it to be right again. if they dont have creases in them just like a round ding or indent try a suction cup or the ding king if you do not want to paint it.proffesionals can lightly hammer out dents but thats why there proffessionals. good luck

My buddy actually used a toilet plunger on his honda. lol. it worked to. but Robby's right, it'll never be just right again without doing the whole process, no matter what you will eventually be using filler to make it perfectlyu even again.

Ive pushed some nice big ones out with my hands...
Hammer and dolley or slide hammer are the 'right' way to go with anything serious.
