parking lot DING

[hingkit]

On one of the side pannel on the 4-Runner there is a dent due to some bastard and their car door.

Its basicly a door dent. I heard about dry ice making it pop back out with basic physics. Has anyone actually tried this?? Would it damange the paint??

Suggestions, comments?

Thx,

Find your most hated domestic truck (eg. red Dodge Ram 3500 Diesel Dually ) and key the thing just out of spite!

yea its basicly hot/cold idea . . . . .what i read is warm up the metal by a hair dryer or even a sunny day outside and then simply put dry ice ontop of the dent till it forms a icy layer or someting like that . . . . and then watch the dent disappear just like that . . . JUST LIKE THAT . . . . simple!!! haha . . . . .

well . . . from what I read thats how its suppose to work . . hehe . .

double park hey . . . . your one of "those" ppl . . .

yea i know what you mean . . . i park @ the ends usually . . . but yea this dent is like a yr old . . . i just read about that dry ice method and wondering wat kinda results it can do . .

there are places that do paintless dent removals pretty cheap
they go behind the panel through the window area and pop it back out

I double park if there is plenty of space to do it
I'm sure double parking in crowded places will just provoke ppl more to mess with your car

I just try to park as far away as possible usually the corner spots so only one person can park beside me

all in all different methods for different places thats for sure
