Fixing small dents

[Matthew]

i have two small dings, each in opposite doors. i tried buying some dry ice today, and rubbing it on the dents, but nothing happened.

any other suggestions? can i get to the actual outside part of the door by taking of the panels and hitting?

not bad...looks like an as seen on tv type thing...i think they may sell something like that at walmart.

ya probably. A lot cheaper then a repair shop. I had a estimate for around $900 on my mom's car for 3 small dents on the hood.

 

[Matthew]

they might have a dent repair kit at the shop on post for 3 bucks an hour that im always talking about.

 

[RoTi speed]

at the shop on post? i dont get it.

 

[Matthew]

there is an car center on post (im in the army, for you civilians you would prolly call it the "base") that charges 3-5 an hour for a full life, oil, paint, or regular auto bay with any tool you could ever need to do anything you would ever want to your car.

damn thats cool. I gotta go pose as a army officer and get my dents fixed.

in hawaii, theres a news station that does a brief show of "does it really work?". they take everyday things, such as the dent king, and try it out to see if it really works. guess what? it doesnt. i say go to a shop or live with it haha gl dude - chris

 

[Matthew]

damn. lol. what about hitting it from the inside.

if you try to do it from the inside, remember that the entire window and tracks need to be removed, and you'll need a metal "dolly",chunk of metal, and be very careful, or you'll end up with bumps, and not a smooth finish...around here there is this place called "dent doctor", fairly priced, and good job.

 

[Matthew]

what is "fairly" priced per dent? ive never called these places.

 

[derrick1623]

my friend had bad hail damage, all over his roof, and they got the whole thing smooth as a baby's ass for like 85 bucks, so i would guess two small dents shouldn't hurt the wallet too bad...dunno exact though.(shrug)

hmmm...thanks a lot, i might give them a call tommorrow. surely there could be some dent repair wizards in this s*** hole town.

probably some one toothed, backwoods talking metal genius.

(the stereotype of a backwoods, one toothed metal working guru are simply for humorus purposes, any resemblence to any actual backwoods talking, one toothed metal workers is strickly coincedental)

lol. there are plenty of them around here. cut me off all the time because they cant see past the rifle mounted on their back window of the pickup with a confederate flag (or since sept 11th, american flag ) hanging up behind it.

 

[derrick1623]

(jacked) i notice alot, those gun racks...the guns seem to be pointing AT the driver???

 

[Matthew]

[derrick1623]
