Do you have a dent puller?

:cool: time that's how. I would recoment going to your local auto parts store and buying the haynes manual on body work. It is an excellent guide to doing the repairs. it takes a lot of time and patience to do it right, but the results are well worth it. I've got to repair a consteation of small dents when the weather gets warmer.

For some reason those dent pullers you screw in are still around, they worked great on those 70's battleships, but on most modern cars they make a mess

ya i used a dent puller, it didnt work on my fender because you need a space big enough for the suction cup to fit, no air pockets.
wich makes it hard to work on dents that are vertical and curved.
i will check out that haynes manual body work thing at like auto zone or shucks. thx tim

:lol Mike you make it sound so easy:lol

[Mike's89AccordLX]

Well it is easy if you have a dad that taught you how to do body work. I've been helping do cars with my dad for 9 years now and I'm only 18 years old. Since I was in 4th grade. And when I wrote "cut it out and weld a new piece or metal in." I meant "of" not or. Keep in mind you will have to do some body filler (about 6 or 7 times and sand it off each time) and then use a filler primer and etc.....

If they are just minor dents, make friends with somebody at one of the paintless dent puller places like Dent Wizard. It is amazing at what they can get out by just using a couple of tools. It isn't much more expensive than paying somebody to use filler to fix dents and it is cheaper in the long run because you don't need to paint the car.

yeah i was going to check out "the dent doctor" they do paintless dent pulling

Actually I think they are like $30-$50 at wal-mart. Could have been a misplaced item though.

[3G Jester]

i think it was more like 20

[Mike's89AccordLX]

That sounds a little more resonable than 30-50
