This is interesting, I assume it's similar to the old school methods of paintless dent removal using dry ice. I actually want to try this.... on my girlfriends car. She wont care.

HAHA girlfriends/wifes car somehow always ends up as experiment vehicle.

WOW I should have tried this on my old '94 Si.

I love tricks that if they don't work it, didn't cost you much.

As long as there isn't a sharp crease in the metal I don't see why this wouldn't work.

^right, and I could probably "borrow" the compressed air from my work anyways, so that would end up being free for me.

Might as well, doesn't seem like it would cause damage if it didn't work. The only thing I can think of happening, is the paint cracking when it expands. Then you need re-paint anyways. So whateva.
