good way to get dents out
good way to get dents out
i have a couple small but very noticable dents on my camaro and they are all in the same place making it look like a big dent.
i just wanted to know how i could get them out myself and i am not that good at banging them out

I personally used the UV activated bondo.. it can take a while since you have to layer it 1/8" thick, but it came out looking good. It's not the weather for it, though.. Depending on just how deep, go with the normal puller hammer and use regular bondo to finish the job.

If you're putting bondo on in 1/8" layers, you didn't pull the dent enough. Bondo should never be more than 1/8" thick on a car.

1/8inch, hahahahaha. my old truck has about 2inches think in some places...
in fact, i made a whole new quarter panel with Cardboard, gorrilla hair and bondo. only place i got a crack was on the door where i was in a hurry and didnt strip all the paint off. and the only reason it cracked was because my buddy kicked the door shut. i fixed it with 5 minute epoxy and some touch up paint.
now thats what i call a ******* truck...
