One of the worst things that can happen when you own a brand new car is that someone puts a dent in it – that is everyone’s worst nightmare and it is absolutely one of those things that can ruin someone’s day. Well, here is a small guide for do-it-yourself dent repair! First and foremost, dent repair is not an easy task, so you will need many different tools and will need to purchase a dent pulling kit or dent pulling tool, along with a dolly, which is a specially designed tool made for flattening and reshaping metal.
Your first step will be to locate the center of the dent and drill a hole with a 1/8” drill bit, next you want to thread the dent pulling tool into the hole and pull on it to flatten the dent. Next, you want to hammer the front of the dent while holding the dolly firmly in place against the back of the dent – you may have to go under the car. The next step is you will want to grind the paint down to the bare metal and allow the body filler to dry out completely before you sand the dent. Next comes the spray primer, about six coats of that will cover the care and then after that dries you can paint!
If you are looking for a more in depth step-by-step guide it is definitely necessary for you to search online for ‘dent repair’.
