How do you guys eliminate small dents in the body? Im going to be prepping my body tomorrow for paint and I would like to eliminate all the small dents (thats all I really have) and truly have a perfectly blocked body. My first thought was bondo but I would like to really try and avoid using that stuff because eventually it cracks. But I cant really see any other way to accomplish this, they are to small for a dent puller and creating a hole to pull it out would just make me need to bondo it anyways.. Sure I could just search but what the heck thought I'd just post this really quik..

 

quality bondo doesnt crack if you use it properly. but i know what u mean, u dont want bondo on your car. best thing to do i would say is hire a paintless dent removal guy.. they'll for sure charge u a few hundred tho. pretty pricey

 

Yea I'll pass on that, those guys rip you off imo because they know they can. I try to avoid anyone besides me work on my car unless their either helping me or I absolutely cant solve the problem in which then I call captain save-a-ho lol.

I have had to use bondo once, and the hardest part was to master the mixing ratio, it either dried to fast or too slow lol. And its messy stuff! about a week or two later it cracked pretty good. I used that stuff called Bondo.. Im thinkin this will just most likely be the way I solve this issue, it wont be nearly as much as I used before..but ughhh i dont want bondo on my sh*t "the jack of all trades, the master of none"

 

Check on youtube for some paintless dent removal vids.
Something there should give you a good idea on how to rid yourself of those tiny dents.

 

No it dosen't, use it properly. When any professional hotrod car gets built and eventually painted, they skim most of the car with fillers and do this a few times after they block the car. Its the only way to get everything straight, there is nothing wrong with using plastic fillers, if you don't want any plastic fillers, there is always lead fillers which I doubt you will be able to do yourself, and probably won't be able to find anyone that still does this anyways.

Your not using 3" thick of filler, just very thin applications to get everything perfect, even when new body panels get installed, or dents get pulled out with the welded wire thing and the puller hammer (im not a bodyman I don't know the names of the tools), they always use plastic filler to get everything straight. Theres nothing wrong with doing this.
