Default How to get rid of minor dent on EM1.

Every one that own an EM1 know that the body is VERY VERY sensitive. If you sit or lean on the fender it'll leave crease/dent. How do you get rid of them on your own? Is there certain tools?

yeah, everyone has the tool to do it, its called a "BODY SHOP".


j/k, there is no magic tool that removes creases or dents.

there is paintless dent removal which is pretty expensive, but it is available.

Theres those pop-a-dent tools that kinda work like a steering wheel puller except with suction cups. Dont think they could remove creases tho.

If you want to make sure it looks decent once its done, I'd definately get someone that does paintless dent removal. I got my entire car done for $350. Ask around at your local car dealerships to see who does it for them, these guys work wonders.

I lean on my fenders all the time and have never dented it.

I know how you can not dent your fenders anymore, lose some ******* weight and stay away from McDonalds.


Dent removal and body repairing at most reputable body shops should be between 300-500.

I had mine quoted at 300 for the entire car. Paint extra.

you can easily bang minor broad dents out from the back with a mallet, you keep saying EM1 like it has special body panels
