Dent Repair Secrets
Auto body technicians can repair dents on your car but the costs may be high. This is especially true if your cars value is low and buying materials at a store so you can do the work yourself would be cheaper than paying a professional. The do-it-yourself strategies and secrets in the steps below can help you fix the dents yourself. Most of the tips involve small investments at an auto parts store.
Simple Steps
If the dent is not bad, minor applications may help remove it. You can apply your hand above or below the dent, depending on the dents location, to see whether it can be pushed back to its normal position. You can press wood blocks against the sides side of the dent to add more force. Use a suction cup in an attempt to pull out the dent.
Sanding and Filling
One approach to dent repair is to sand the paint off the dent. Once the dent is exposed, apply car body filler. Spread the filler evenly and let it dry. Once the filler is dry, sand it until its smooth and repaint the area with the color of your car. This should help make the car look as good as new.
