    A trick i learned a while ago, seems like lots of you guys dont know about it. Works great for fixing dents, small and a bit bigger. I ran into some dents that it didnt really do the job, so its no a 100% effective.

    All you need is:

    -Hair Dryer
    -Canned Co2 (ex. computer duster spray)


    U heat up the bump and the area, then spray around and inside.

    Heres a vid of it happening:

    YouTube - ‪DentRepair‬‏


    To avoid confusion:
    -It will not fix every dent.
    -Does not work on creased and damaged metal. So dont try it.
    -It will not damage ur paint.

    Please let me know how it turn out.

    I have a dent on my driver's side door. Don't know how long it's been there but I bought it like that. Dent is about maybe and inch or two all together.

    It works. Also works better when the dent is fresh though.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Damn...Doesn't hurt to try it I guess, it's probably one of the cheaper solutions anyways.

    lol deal mang i could work for beer.

    yea you could warp the panel, crack the paint( leads to rust), burn the paint. make the dent worse if it expands down instead of up
