sl3196 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Damn Wyoming storm hailed my car out and I was wondering if anyone knows cheap ways to get the hail damage out. Quote
kiwi133 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 http://www.dryiceinfo.com/other.htm#HAIL%20DAMAGE try that, if possible. It seems like a good idea, though I have never tried it. If you can't get any, you might as well try normal ice for the hell of it. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Normal ice doesn't work. Try the dry ice, but I've heard it rarely works on larger dents and won't work on small dings. PDR is the only way to get them completely out without a trace. Quote
supreme_style21 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 What is it they do that always makes that little dimple? That looks freakin bad when it does that.. I'd rather have the hail dents than those horrible little dimples all over the place. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Dimples? I think sometimes those hot glue DIY dent pullers can leave little dimples. Nothing where you pay a professional should leave dimples. Quote

Yeah dimples... when it pulls it up TOO much and ends up looking ghey. I've seen a few cars like that.. I have no clue if it was DIY. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Oh, you mean outward dimples? That would either be really shitty PDR or DIY with a glue puller. I accidentally did that on the hood of my TGP and had to knock 'em back down. Quote
sl3196 Posted July 19, 2003 Author Report Posted July 19, 2003 I got ann estament for Paintless dent repair and they wanted $3500 and said I should replace the hood and trunk. It would be $1000 alone for the roof. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Wow, go somewhere else! I've never heard of PDR costing that much, some places also only charge something like $150 per panel. Quote
92turboLE Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 on may applications for PDR, commonly they will "roll" it out from the underside.... my car had hail damage and they rmoved my head liner and rear window and rolled it out with this monsterous machine... otherwise, try the dry ice, sometimes it works, although not very well... but it helps a little.. - Justin Quote
godofthunder Posted July 20, 2003 Report Posted July 20, 2003 we used to hamer out dents on our race car like that all the time...just roll em from the inside. This was on a firebird body. I guess you could it yourself...my bro is REALLY good jon Quote
