was first time doing it.. as a improviser/innovator it was done with home basic tools lying around my tool box
no dent puller tools or bought special dent tools
this was on my driver side front fender btw..
used a plain white paper and used a marker to make lines using a ruler so i can see the dent..
after marking the dent i pop the 3 screws under the fender wheel cover so i can get behind it.. i used a magnet and stuck it on the back inside fender and used a metal ball diff from my RC remote control car as you can see that metal ball so i know what aera to push out the dent from the back then i put some tape so i can feel the exact aera from the back and took the magnet off.
used a hair dryer to heat up the dent a bit to make it soft and pushed the dent from the back with some rounded screw drivers tips and the end of the handle of the screw driver was nice and round that made it smooth after poking with it in a inward spiral till i hit the inside of the dent.. as i pushed on the dent i can see the lines start tot straighten up and that when i knew i was doing it
cant even tell dent is there anymore.... dent was caused by a hugh cardboard box that was blown by the wind and the corner of it hit it
seems very thin fender but it was hot so i assume due to heat thats why it dented easy but now its gone
saved myself like 80$ .. got a quote then i said screw the quote i got this
was not scared to do this. i knew if i screwed up i will still learn and learning from your own mistakes is the best way to learn
