Dent repair

Ramrod

Has anybody repaired dents on the front aluminum fascia? Dent wizard?

How big/deep are the dents?

Ramrod

I hit it with a broom stick.

I recall someone with hail damage getting them removed at a body shop.

With most small dent repairs you need access to the back. They use leverage to push the dent out from the back.

Ramrod-I have to ask-were you landing on your T@B or trying to take off? I only use my broom for taking off from Tabitat-that curve really messes up my landings! (Am sorry for your dent though). So little time to practice before tomorrow.

I was washing TV with broom. I think I am going to apply a sticker to the dent. Now I need to find one...

I have, in the past taken out hail dents with a chunk of dry ice wrapped in a THIN towel. [wear gloves!] Simply go in a circular motion around the outside of the dent, and sometimes it will pop the dent back up. Might be worth a try unless you find a REALLY cool sticker!

Remind me not to stand behind you when you're washing stuff with your broom! You must have eaten your spinach (old reference to Popeye for you youngsters).

Look up paintless dent removal on youtube. Most metal wants to go back to its original shape. Be careful of how much heat you apply. Sometimes a hairdryer is sufficient. YMMV, but I had someone do it on my truck and it was flawless.

Hot and cold and a 2 inch dent puller did not work. HD sticker wins!
