99xtremedime Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Today someone in the school parking lot decided that it would be cool to put a nice lil dent in my bed about the size of a half dollar coin. My truck just spent 4 months in the body shop getting completely redone btw. So anyways my question is, is there anyway that i can pull the dent without scratching my fresh paint?

So anyways my question is, is there anyway that i can pull the dent without scratching my fresh paint? depends on location, size, and depth pictures? if its in the right spot, and no metal is bent or creased, you may be able to do it without hurting the paint.

Ill get a pic tomorrow, and thats the problem, the dent is right at the top of the bed where it starts to taper in so its kinda like a beveled edge or rounded off i guess would be the better way to put it.

PDR is about the only option you can try, so get in contact with somebody in your area offering the service for a reasonable price. PDR around here is roughly $50 for the first dent, and $20 for any other dent. its going to depend a lot on location of the dent and size of it (again) Quote 8 DC Level 4 M2 15s2 DC Audio 5ks26^2 clamshell tuned to 30hz9 Kinetik 1400sMechman externally reg'd 340 S seriesin a 99 Jeep Cherokee Click to see J00bles' Youtube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmertb Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Or you could invest in a nice but cheap pair of Push Rods to get it out. Then you'd have the tools if it were to happen again.

thehoe92 Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 didn't work for me but its worth a shot in your case.. get a source of heat like a heat gun or hair dryer and blow it on the dent and surrounding area for about a minute to 2 minutes then immediately blast the same area with cold air the change in temperature should pop the dent but like I said it didn't work for me you might have better luck and it doesn't ruin your paint Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J00bles Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) didn't work for me but its worth a shot in your case..get a source of heat like a heat gun or hair dryer and blow it on the dent and surrounding area for about a minute to 2 minutes then immediately blast the same area with cold air the change in temperature should pop the dent but like I said it didn't work for me this is a myth more than anything. you CAN do it if the dent is just right, but 99% of the time the dent is too deep/too severe for it to work in his case (at the top part of his bed) he has no chance in getting it out with that edit** plus you should never use heat on metal and paint. the metal used on vehicles today shouldnt be subjected to heat like that because it will change it's structural integrity. the heat can also warp the metal a bit and can cause the paint to lose some of its bond to the substrate.

raytard Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 for the hot cold thing, i did a heat gun, then canned air turned upside down so the freezy stuff sprays on the metal, it contracts the outside causing it to pull forward. it kinda only works on thin gauge metal with subtle curves, the spot you described it prob wont help. if you can get behind it, i've banged them out with a body spoon and hammer, but its something that usually takes some practice to get right Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
