    There is a LOT of personal satisfaction that goes with being able to fix small things. RUclips is FULL of such videos. RUclips helped me fix my washing machine and I've also learned when to fix something and when to call a repairman and when to simply REPLACE something.

    Mike I have fixed so many dents just like the one you tried on your pick up truck. You need a dinging hammer a good one, you also need a t bar witch you need to make yourself. Remove the trim panel first then put the t bar inside the door and up against the outer body line, top of the t first hit the bottom of it and your dent will come out. If it has several buckles in the door skin where they shouldn't be have someone push the t bar by hand and carefully tap the buckles out on the high spots only using the large round end of your dinging hammer. Hope i was of some assistance. Sincerely Bill Campbell

    Hey Mark, late comment. Love both you and your brothers vids. You guys both do great at what you do. I have much respect with how you and your brother wants to give back and influence. I really think the good Lord knows that. Proved with Draco. My precious grandpa said to me "life is a voyage in witch we choose neither vessel nor weather, but much can be done in the guidance of the helm and the management of the sails. God was with Mike. Remember life is precious. In the end what matters is Who you are and Not what you have.
    Much Respect,

    Lacquer thinner on a cloth will erase a lot of paint transfer marks, as will Goo Gone, etc. When heating the metal, try using an infrared thermometer to keep from heating the paint over 175 F, or you run the risk of blistering the paint.

    I've only ever bought one brand new vehicle as well. Picked it up on May 24 and by Sept 1 it had over 14 miles. By the time I sold it 13 years later it has over 313K miles pov a little Ford 2.3L. The only major repairs were actually maintenence items. Brakes, clutch and timing belt. Preformed all repairs and maintenence myself. Older now, and more apt to take them to the shop and let them do it lol.
    That quick repair is one I've done before. Works great!

    I am happy for you. I am hurting right now with a dent and a deep scratch in the centre of the dent on my new car. I took out a policy for AUD500 when I bought this car which offers an on-site repair for AUD50 for each minor repair. The dent itself is small but noticeable. I got a repair technician out this morning but he said he could not fix the dent and that I would have the whole door repainted in the workshop, which is very expensive. He went over the deep scratch with a touch up paint, no putty filler, which I could have done myself. Very poor job. Paid $50. I love my car and it hurts when I look at the damage.

  • @Jimbo-in-Thailand

    Mike - Autozone carries _Scratch Out_ sold under the _Formula 1_ brand name. It comes in a yellow plastic bottle. I've been using it for decades (it used to be sold under the _Kit_ brand name). It's excellent at removing small scratches and scuffs like you have. It's also safe for clear coat since it's not abrasive like typical polishing/rubbing compounds. Sadly, here in Thailand it's very expensive, but worth it, to keep the factory shine on vehicles subject to the brutal latitude 16° North sun.
    Cheers from Thailand and fly safe! :)

In fact, I think I will try your process to take a small dent out of my car that was hit by a bottle rocket last year on New Years Eve.....hit the back right quarter of my car...bottle rocket still sitting on top of my car with burnt gun powder across the trunk and back window the next morning. Thanks again! Greatly appreciated!

    You need a dual action polisher to do it right with an orange foam pad with a good compound then use a good polisher. Most auto paint supply shops will put the trucks color code in a rattle can for $25.00 and they will sell a rattle can clear coat called SprayMax for $25.00.

    The collision repair place we usually use wanted $2300 to fix our dented fender. A guy came out and did a similar thing to what the guy in the video did. Then he buffed out the scrapes and scratches. It looks 100% perfect. $400. He came highly recommended, tho and has a lot of experience. I think collision repair places are doing this, too and just upcharging. Make sure you check references if you hire a dent repair guy who comes out to you.

    You were better to buff that out by hand. A buffer in inexperienced hands can cut through the paint very quickly, especially on raised crease kinds of areas. My favorite old Souix saying: "Go slowly for a more harmonious outcome." Good work by you in bringing your truck back up nicely.

Make the top piece about 6 in. long and the bottom piece as long as it needs to be from the outer skin to a position past the inner door skin where you can hit it with a 2 lb. hammer. good luck.

    Mark, I understand the heating/expanding and the cooling/contracting of the metal. What is the principle that enables the metal to pop back and retain its original shape? Pretty cool demo! Thanks, Garland

    • @scottmaschino1927
      @scottmaschino1927 5 лет назад

      The original shaping in the panel is what the metal wants to be in. The radius and the hard bend line are kind of reset points if you will, to bring it back to. Heat the whole panel to put more tension into it, then cool certain points fast. If the cooling alone doesn't pop it back on its own, a few thumps to help flex the panel will usually do it.

    What's in the can? Cold spray? or just compressed air?

      Joe Nocella, It is air in a can. It has Freon, can upright to use air, can upside down to use Freon.
