geraintthomas Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Someone's hit the wing of my car, but not massively. Looks to be a handlebar of a bicycle or something, so it's not horrendous. Luckily, the paint hasn't been damaged at all and there's no crease - it's also in the middle of the wing, so as far as dings go it's pretty good. It is roughly the size of a 20p coin though. Before I pay someone to get the ding out, is there any way to try it myself? Like said, the paint isn't damaged, the dent hasn't creased the metal, and I can also get behind the wing if I take it off. Any tricks to get it out? Cheers!

Akuma77 Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 mine has a few dings too bud but tbh not tried to remove them , you could try one of those dent puller things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Don't do it, when you make it worse you are screwed. Paintless dent repair should not cost much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherv Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 if youre going to JAE theres a guy who goes round the stands who does a corking job for very good prices if you can live with it for a bit.mind you its a new venue this year but must be a good earner for him so I would guess he'll be there mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUToyota Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 Agree...NOT a DIY job if you want the best possible result. I'd pay the money and get it done right.! Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riiskyy Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 I had someone at my old work use the am-tech one and he said it was crap and didn't do it. The other kit looks miles better. Probably worth the extra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlasumm Posted July 6, 2015 Report Share Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) im finding the larger kit far better to use plus it goes down into smaller tab sizes for small dings and easier to tease out the dents with the hand tool Edited July 6, 2015 by carlasumm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
