Alright. Some how, the driver's side fender on my car got dented, well after I had just put it on there (had to replace the one that was on there). I have no idea how it got there, but I'm trying to decide how to get the dent out. Should I pull the fender off and hammer it out or should I use some filler? Give me any suggestions. I know this is a really silly problem but I'm not good with body work.

Heat it up real good with your mom's hair dryer, and then take her compressed air she uses to clean her keyboard, turn it upside down and spray the hot dent. It should flex it back out unless there is a crease.

I'll give that a shot tomorrow when I have the chance. If it doesn't work, what else do you suggest?
