Door dings...

RE: Door dings...
I forgot about that, I'm gonna have to host my pictures from another site. I was hosting it from my myspace just for quicker linking. Sorry about that guys.
But yeah, that dent is from becking up into a pole. Someone else was driving my truck when they did it, but it's pretty bad.
I do have a big dent on my hood though from it being dropped in a shop while getting a rebuilt engine.

You can see the dent on the front of my hood.

i think i would just save up and let a body shop smooth out the whole truck and have it re-painted.

For those 2 dents + paint in my shop (judging by what I see) you'd be looking at about $750, in Vancouver, Canada. []
Probably only cost you about $600 in gas, round trip.

Go to Wal-mart and get a couple of cans of that canned air computer guys use for blowing out keyboards and such (Dust-Off?).
Take a hair dryer out and heat the area of the dent for a minute or so. Immediately tip the can of Dust Off upside down and spray the area for a couple of minutes. When the can is upside down, youare spraying liquid CO2 which is VERY cold. This will shrink out minor dents with no paint damage. Works just like using dry ice but without the hassle.

What you can do is take off the interior panels inside to access that part of the body and knock it out safely!!

if you have quarter sized dings try the paintless ding/dent removal - i got it done on my old car and it worked great it was about $80 to get 2 dings out. Basically what they do is get in between the door and massage the ding out with a hot compress and roll them out

Stick with the dry ice if youre gunna try the hot/cold method

Those canned air things are actually Difluoroethane, which boils at -13*F. Dry ice (CO2) is a solid, and turns to gas (sublimation) and that occurs at -108*F. Aside from the adverse health effects of difluoroethane (there is a reason the cans say never shake/tip, not just because it's cold), there isn't really enough temp difference to make the metal pop.

That taste is a bitterent that is added to deter junkies from inhaling it directly to get high. As long as you're in an open area you'll be fine......although I have a hard time believing it'll actually work, but if it does let us know
