OK, I some how got 2 small dents in my passenger side fender, one looks ike a golf ball hit it and the other is a lot smaller than it, Im not much of a body guy, but I was wondering the easiest way to pop these out? The paint was not affected by the impact so I have no clue how it got there, Here are some pics













The bigger one is a lot more distince but the smaller one is more visible in the third picture I posted, Thanks In advance

 

1st try to access it from behind. Maybe from inside the hood area in the access hole. If you can get to it, a metal rod (strong and with a hook or otherwise rounded end) might be able to massage it out. Ive also seen a video about using compressed air and heat. Heres the theory....get a heat gun or hairdryer and a can of the compressed air (found at computer stores for blowing out the inside of your computer), heat the metal with the heat gun or hair dryer (careful with a heat gun not to damage the paint) for about a minute or less, then quickly apply a spray of the compressed air (hold upside down so the liquid comes out), and then wait until the icy coat dissapears. http://youtube.com/watch?v=miNykNl-0NM

 

Id recommend calling a paintless dent removal company. Its never going to be prefect without doing body work and a repaint. PDR will get it out 99% of the way. However this isnt something a first timer should attempt, its not the easiest.

I think im going to attempt it myself first, Its not as dented in as it looks in the picture. I think now that its possibly from when I had my oil changed and the guy leaned over the car and his knee hit there. If that fails i will take it to a shop and have it fixed.

 

Ok, I Ran into a friend from highschool that was always into autobody and paint and He said that I could either pop it out from under with like a flat rubber hammer, but what he would do is get some dry ice and put it in a bag and then wrap it in a rag and stick it on there and it would suck it out. has anyone ever done that or heard of doing that?

 

to get at it you really need to remove the fender.i personally would do the paintless dent thing if u can afford it, since the repaint will be something you cant do your self, and u might pop them out from behind but the paint might chip, usaully i try n pop em out if not i just use bondo

 

Well he said if I did the dry ice thing that it would suck it out to about where it should be, but it might take a couple times and that it shouldnt affect the paint unless i stuck straigh dry ice to it and he said a lot of the dent removal places do the same thing on smaller dents. I just wanted to see if anyone else has heard of this, because its not as bad as it looks in the pictures I posted its just the glare makes it look worse.
