i need help on the chepest and fastest way to fix this dent???

[sean@z1]

there is not a cheap way you chould pull the dent then hammer the panel with a block till almost straight. Then bondo it and sand and primer and paint

[bersh240]

duck tape.lighter.spraypaint.worked to seal a rusted out drain plug in the bottom of my car..or.. i cant really tell how deep the dent is but a body guy i no fills lil dents with a whole lota primer till it builds up then sand it off and paint

[S14toRPS13]

If you have no autobody skills, then send it to Maaco.

( until Christmas break then im going to fix it all the way )

pretty sure you could pop out the inside panel of trunk and get kinda a clear view of that panel, shove that s*** out, for the time being it will look better and maybe it would be a lil easier for bondoin, no screwing holes required

[duffman1278]

Weld some studs and attach a slide hammer to it. Or oxyacetylene it and slowly pull it out from the inside out.

close your eyes and hope it goes away?

Overfenders

[Nismo-S14]

the easy way is way is open the trunk get a body hammer and tool call a dolly you get them cheap at a paint store bang the dent till it almost comes out its pretty bad so it wont be perfect buy some cheap bondo fill in the left over dents sand till its smooth keep applying till you think it looks good and if you want to get rid of some left over dents use puddy sand and use spray primer but this is the chep way so it wont be perfect buy the way the edge wont come out that needs to be pulled hope this helps

[S13_love]

Commas and periods, use them.

But yeah, I think you should have the right idea about now op. Either dent pull it or go at it with a hammer and hope for the best. Followed by applying the body filler, sanding, spraying primer, more sanding, then paint.

Cheapest route is to do this by yourself nonetheless. Good luck.

you can try the heatgun/hairdryer and keyboard duster method, from what ive seen....aka youtube, it could work.

It won't be too expensive to fix if you do it yourself.

Pick up a set of body hammers and dollys from harbor freight. ($30)Try to get pound out the dent as much as you can. A torch can be very helpfull to get the majority of the dent out by heating the panel before pounding it out. You can try to pound it out without a torch, but be carefull to avoid oil-cans. Hammer off dolly techniques can be used to get most of the dent out. Some hammer on dolly can be used and may be neccesary, however keep it to a mnimum to avoid stretching the metal.

Once you have most of the dent out and the panel has been returned to it's orignal contour, use a metal file over the damaged area. You will be able to see the low/ high spots by the marks the file makes. Tap out the rest of the low spots with the pick end of a body hammer. Use the file again and continue the pick and file untill the panel is damn near straight.

Theres no chance in hell you'll be able to metal finish it, so body filler must be used. Make sure you clean and blow the panel off. After properly mixing the filler/hardener to a uniform color, spread a tight coat of filler over the entire repair area. Make sure there are no holes in the filler because it will result in pinholes that are difficult to sand out.

Once the hardener dries, begin sanding with 40 or 80 grit paper to cut down the rough spots. After 80 grit move to 120 grit. If you start seeing metal show, try to avoid further sandng in that area. After sanding the entire area to as close to contour as possible, gently tap down any metal showing(high spots). You can now apply a thin layer of glaze putty to the entire panel. After that dries continue sanding with 80, 120, 180, then 240 before primer. Make sure to use guide coat during the sanding, it will help you see when the panel is straight.

After priming the panel, wetsand with 600 grit and use guide coat. Then move to 800 or 1000 grit.I won't talk about painting because I'm asuming you"ll just rattle can it.

Good luck!

This thread is turning into a dent festival. Save up and get overfenders. That's the best way IMO.

[24j0hn]

is that the 240 that was for sale on craigslist for a while... cuz i remember that pic, thats the for sale pic it showed on the link

[blacksrjdm]

close your eyes and hope it goes away?

That indeed is and will always be the cheapest way out...

[Nis-240sx-san]

I say you buy a band aid sticker, and then put it over the dent. Wait about a week and then peel it off and the dent will DISAPPEAR! amazing!

[Shift_Kouki]

2x4, 5lb sledge, and a rubber mallet... You can also kick it out w/ your foot.

These techniques do require some finesse. Just do it and hope for the best basically.

[CrC SIL80]

yup i had this car for sale but i guess i need to finish what i started

[S13Teddy]

Turn it into a missle car.

[chaosli]

bring it to a autozone and wait for 2hr. a mexican will ask you in that time if you want that fix for 200bucks

[FinkenS14]
