Get Rid Of A Dent Or Dimple

Definite dents cannot be knocked gone.


Accidents happen. Dents resulting from an accident deform the sheet metal of your vehicle. This deformation creates large problems when attempting to knock absent a dent. Knocking elsewhere a dent requires less specialized tools than using a dent puller and is less labor-intensive than drilling multiple holes in your thing panels for self-tapping screws. Using child's play tools, a knocked gone dent Testament crave nix bounteous than a aglow coat of oppose filler and sanding to build a seamless repair.


Instructions


1. Remove any interior panels resting last the dented body panel. Use a regular screwdriver to remove panel pins (if required).


Move the dolly and body hammer around the dent to smooth out the creases.6. Knock out smaller sections of the dent with a pointed body hammer.7. If the dent deforms a large section of the panel, move to the other side of your vehicle and match the dolly to the undamaged sheet metal.


3. Select a body hammer from a body hammer set with a large, slightly curved head.


4. Hit the edges of the dent from the backside with the slightly curved body hammer head. Work around the perimeter of the dent. Do not use excessive force to hit the sheet metal. This could cause more damage to the sheet metal.


5. Set the matched dolly block on the outside creased sections of the dent. Hit the interior side of the sheet metal directly behind the dolly with the selected body hammer.2. Set a dolly on the outside of the dented body panel, close to the dent. You need a dolly that has a contour similar to the sheet metal surrounding the body panel.



Sand the dented area with 36-grit sandpaper to remove rough paint from the pulled dent.
