Dent Removed - Using Magnets

Postby Hammer » Wed Jul 19, 2006 6:15 pm

I've got a very small dent that's visible in the passenger front guard of my 5. The dent was caused by someone careless opening their car door (5cm vertical dent).

I've heard of methods where magnets are used to fix dents. No damage is done to the paint, hence no need to respray.

Do you guys know of anyone in the Lower North Shore area of Sydney whom I can call to inquire?

I have used a paintless dent removal system that massages the dents out from the back if you can get to them. Worked fantastic! Can not pick where the dents were and it was like $50 for about 3 or 4 little carpark dents.

there are also some that use a vacume, and alot of em operate mobile business. just be carefull.. ask alot of question when they are looking at it, as it can remove paint.. depending on the size and damage done to the paint from the dint it self

was used on my brohters car and mine (the sucker one i think) and didnt have a problem
