Made a small ding/dent ... any tips on how to get it out? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I accidentally bumped into my FR-S with luggage. The luggage made about a nickel sized ding that is hardly noticeable. I notice it and want to get rid of it. I tried the whole dry ice and hair dryer trick and it didn't really work. Maybe I did it wrong?

Any tips to minimize this issue? Any help from some experts would be appreciated.

I am so mad at myself right now

Find a Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) technician in your area and have them take care of it for you. Where in CT are you located?

Seconded. A coworker put a nice dent in the door of my BRZ when it was less than a week old. A local PDR specialist took out the dent leaving no trace that there ever was any damage.

Get a heat gun and some duster canned air. Heat dent and area around it. Turn canned air (duster) upside down and spray the co2 on dent and surrounding area. Repeat until dent is gone. Watch it on youtube. It takes quite a few "repeats" but slowly but surely removes little blimish dents. If theres a crease in the metal or its a deep dent i dont recommend this method.

I am in no way a professional at paint and body work. Tried it once when a shopping cart hit my TC, and it worked pretty good.
