Ding repair? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

FReSh · 07-06-2013, 03:25 PM

I got a few dings in my cars hood, roof, trunk, and fenders from some small hail. I filed a claim with the insurance company, so I'll be payed once they come look at it. After a bit of searching, it seems like a lot of people try to use a heat gun and dry ice, with little success. Does anyone know of the cheapest/best way to remove small dings? They are very small, to the point where you have to look at it from an angle, but it still bothers me a lot. Thanks!

Haha, I think the dings are much too small for that method... Would be an excellent excuse to get a GoPro though!

When you mentioned it hailed, I had to go outside and look at mine. I couldn't find anything other than the same small ding that was on it when I bought it. Makes me sick because only I know where it is but it annoys me. I don't know where to go locally to get it fixed but that GoPro method looks promising.

So there are other people from state college on here! The only other person I knew of was @Dreamshot. I guess I'll see what the insurance rep has to say about getting it fixed.

Indeed there are. I frequent this site as well as Camaro5 for my other ride.
