Started dent pulling

(i call it chickenpox) which will in fact lead to the usage of the hammer and dolly method. Remember: Accords Need Tender Love. Edit: awdgsx96, i'm not knockin you homeboy. i just don't want anyone else to have to go through what you're goin through. No hard feelings man I completely understand you. My friend came over the next day and showed me the light easing way, as I was going steroids on it. Hopefully I can give it another try and get some better results on the big boy dents. I got the one pictured out

$50. No joke. Engine starts first crank, A/C blows cold, brakes work, no missing lights

Damn, $50 and the only major noticible problem is the appearance of the car? I'm jealous.

Went out and got some air duster today, it's funny how you have to be 18 to buy the stuff, never knew that. But yet when I took it to the counter to pay, i was only asked if I was 18. They didn't ask for my ID or anything, not like it would have mattered.

Yeah that's odd that you have to be 18 to even buy spray paint. When I went out and bought some Duplicolor spray paint to touch up my car when i Bondo it they asked for my ID to get the stuff.

Anyways, tomorrow I plan on doing the hair dryer/air duster method. I'll post some before and after pictures. Or does anyone want me to do an actual walk-through?

[TouringAccord]

I think the video explained how to do it, unless you do something different, but some before and after pictures showing the results would be nice.

[awdgsx96]

I bought some air duster yesterday, and I wasn't carded. And I buy spraypaint all the time. Maybe it just depends on who is cashier that day.

I'm going back out today to try the dent gun again. I have until like 5 to get some progress, so it's worth trying.

good luck with the dent gun now that youve got it down better the results should be good

most likely i bought some imported smokes for someones bday they like and didnt get carded, same day i went to the bank to deposit a mail in rebate check my mom gave, the lady asked "whos belinda, is that your wife" jeez i turned 18 like 2weeks prior to that, but facial hair ftw i guess

[awdgsx96]

Update!

Quarter panel is looking alot better! It's been taking alllloot of time and alot of slow agonizing taps on the puller but it is surely coming out.

Pics soon

[361 accord]

cant wait

[propwdialogue]

I was intrigued by the idea of the heat gun/air duster method so I gave it a try. I found that it only works for moderately large dents (sorry, I don't have a digital camera, so no pics), but small dings and dents are unaffected by it. Just figured I would share my results!

[TouringAccord]

I was wondering how effective it would be on smaller dents since the video was on a larger dent. Good to know.

[fleetw00d]

I've got a set of 92-93 EX wheels (professionally refinished), if you're interested.

[awdgsx96]

Do they look like 5th gens? They have thinner spokes, right?

If so, what's your price?

[Charri]

I know that the trick works on dents roughly 5-6 inches in diameter. 1-2 inch dents are iffy. Body lines forget it it'll never come back lol. If you have dents on the hood from sitting on it. Use ALOT of dry ice or CO2. To be honest with you if anyone plays paintball or anything like that I recommend getting a release valve for your tank then use that on your car rather than buy the air duster. Saves a couple of bucks

[oem_certified_accord]

i'm going to the driveway now to try this blowdryer / air duster method, and yes..i'm armed with a digi cam.. so yes, a video will surface later.

[awdgsx96]

Any luck so far oem?
