I have two quarter size dents on my A pillars passenger side. You cant notice it unless you really look but I know its there and it bothers me LOL. Has anyone tried this?

 

No but thanks for the info!

 

Yes I did this to our GMC truck it took out the majority of the dent.

 

Can I do this with a blow dryer?

 

i'll try this on my trunk. theres a very small dent.

 

i love how happy he is after it works.

 

that looks like it worked great, but do you think it would crack the paint?

 

Very interesting.

 

Yes a hair dryer will work.

No, it shouldn't crack the paint.

 

thanks

 

The concept is heating it up do the paint flexes back into place any suggestions on how hot you should do it to?

 

Interesting.

 

that methods works by heating the metal to a point got really hot then introduce to extreme cold temp like dry ice causing the metal to shrink and pop in place, this method is kinda dangerous because you will need to heat the surface to certain point depend on the dent, this can crack your paint. There is a safer way to do this, its call pop a dent kit and here is a video about that kit.

 

You might be able to use a heat gun instead of a hair dryer.

 

I may have to give this a try.

 

LOL @ 1:02... "I opened my door into one of those concrete posts..." Bish minivan doors don't open outwards

 

this method doesn't work the majority of the time and is quite hit or miss. i've tried it on several vehicles (using a hairdryer) and on several different sized dings/dents and never had success. i also looked up other people's results and only a handful were successful because it was a pleasant surprise when they expected it not to work.

never hurts to try though. your paint will be fine unless it's was already damaged.

 

ya.. a little gitty. haha It sounds like a river man with no teeth "HEHEHE". eww..

 

Might need to try this. Pretty interesting.

 

Be careful... it is possible to separate the paint from the body underneath and after time, the paint starts to bubble out slightly, so pressure washing that spot any time afterwards should be avoided.

 

I was thinknig the same thing. But I wasn't thinking as much about the "later" aspect as much as the immediate.

However, if you have a bad dent, you gotta wonder if the existing dent it worse than taking "a chance" of pulling off the paint. haha
