Title: Diy dent removal
Post by: Big Tone on 15 November 2011, 07:25

Got about half a dozen small dents that are doing my nut in.
They are between 1p and 2p coin size. Two on the bonnett and two on each front door.

Is there some way I can try and remove these? not paying silly money if I can diy!

Depends how sharp the edges are, but tbh I'd leave it to the professionals. When it comes to bodywork, DIY just just doesnt cut it unless you have professional tools, and are already pretty competant. If you cock it up, its gonna look shockingly shiz!
