Massaging a dent

Akkeith · 08-26-2009, 01:37 PM

Does anyone know of this method? I have a barely visible crease from 4 wheeler handle bar that is about 1/8" at its deepest and across door midway up. Not a sharp crease but rounded. Someone told me that it could be "massaged" out because the paint is not damaged (rubber grip made crease) and it would not have to be repainted. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks for any help.

paintless dent repair does it with special long bars, might be better to let the pros do it! they do a lot of hail damaged cars

You can try this:

When I worked at a slaughterhouse we had plenty of it at our dispossal and tried it out a few times. Worked for us.
