I've been wheelin lately and my backend slides over into a tree,putting a nice dent in side of bed.
So I was putting on a set of Bushwacher fenderflares while I had the inner finder's out I got an idea so I took a flat nose shovel and worked it up between the outside fender and the bedliner. With just a little prizing "pop" the dents came out. After I started working the shovel up and down you could see it working the metal.
Just wanted to pass that on for those that see the dents every time they look in the mirror... Merry Christmas !!!

 

Thanks for the help.

Any tips on how to get out racing stripes? (tree scratches)

 

an orbital buffer and some polishing compound, unless its thru the clearcoat and to the paint, then your screwed

 

sweet thanks. I think the paint on my truck is original. The paint on the hood comes off with a rag and the paint on the sides is decent but it scratches so easily when I brush trees and bushes.

 

Oh wait a minute...Don't take out the scratches !! thats the marks of a true outdoor rough and adventures MAN ...remember Chicks dig scares haha

 

rhino lining... or like crackerjack put it... chicks dig scratches haha

 

only problem with rhino lining is the weight. It's really heavy over a whole truck. But still very effective.

 

true. if theres anything the 3vze needs, its to drive a heavier truck...

 

ahaha whats gonna happen when the bushwackers rip your fenders off? seen it happen a few times and i was laughing my ass off!
personally i cherish my dents as reminders of good times. adds character

 

so your saying a few buckets of paint limits that much power? wow. i only like the little dents about softball size, and your truck needs to look like a wheeler, otherwise it looks like some dumbass drunks truck who cant seem to see things coming at him or cant seem to stop hitting trees

 

Toliet plungers work good to pull out big dents too.

 

THey are attached using plastic fastners what will most liekly break the flare off before your fenders..but you knew this already right? :bigclap:

 

toilet plungers eh, i might have to try that tomorrow...

 

On smaller dents, I use the suction cup, but on bigger dents, I get out the BFH

 

the toilet plunger will work only if the dent is on an area big enough to get a good seal on the plunger. so it cant be on a corner or crease.

 

I'm gonna have to agree with sonofmayhem here. I heard a guy going on and on about how much this stuff weighs. I figure, to do a whole truck, TOPS would be like 50 lbs. TOPS. If i put on the rhino lining, then sweat that poundage off of my fat ass, i'd be good to go. Besides, folks hang a bumper, winch, sliders, rear bumper, and big ol tires, a little heavy paint aint gonna slow you down much more

 

Dry Ice can get dents out as well. You must be careful of the paint. However, if you're going to rhino coat then you don't have to worry about paint. I have my heart set on forest green rhino coat for the entire 4runner.

 

How do you remove dents with the dry ice?

 

you stick the "flat nose shovel into dry ice before you push out dent with it!! hehe...hay I'm not the Eng. Major you are...just kiddin

 

dry ice can shrink the metal just enough to pop out very minor dents like from hail damage. Anything over say half an inch and it will probably not work and definatly nothing with a crease.
