Well over the years I've accumulated atleast 1 nice dent on just about every panel on my 94 Bronco. Ofcourse it always happens where there is a curve in the panel. I really don't want to pay someone to make it look nice and then dent them again, but I've got time on my hands that if I new how to do it then I would try. I've never done any body work tho so I'm not sure where to even start. I've got a bigass slide hammer and I've tried pulling out some dings but it always leaves a nipple where it pulls and it leaves most of the ding still there. Anybody got some helpful hints? What about bondo.
Yeah yeah I know.... when I'm done I'm gonna paint it this color:rainbow:

i worked in a body shop for 6 months (they fired me for spinning tires in a new vette, i as 17, what else whould i do)
any way, its very easy, bondo is good used in small amounts, but go get a book @ your local automotive paint store, its super easy

If it's on a curved area and there is no creases (or not very big at least)...

Have you tried a plunger?

Yep, I've tried the plunger with little accomplished. I'm thinking maybe dentwizard on some of the smooth dents, maybe

When using Bondo, you need to remember to do several fine layers. Also, you need to remove all paint down to bare metal in about a 6" diameter of the dent you are working on. Then you will need to feaher-edge the paint so that when you are finished and repaint it doesn't look like crap. Body work is one of those things in which you must take your time if you want it to look good. You have to be patient and keep the area clean. If you are just gonna keep beating on your truck, you might want to consider using a fiberglass-type of body filler. Most of them are ok to use on top of paint, so there would be less work.

if the dents are big and deep you can use a body filler with aluminum in it (name?) my dad and i used it on his 57 chevy on the frame to smooth out a HUGE dent under the engine. It worked great because it is a lot tougher. you can then use a thin layer of bondo onto of that. The guys at your local auto paint supply store should know all about it.

good luck

The problem I see with the slide hanmmer is that you need to work from multipul points around the dent, not just one. This means drilling many holes, and slowly pulling the dent out. It would probally be better to use the tipe that welds the pins on the surface on the metal, and them after U are done, U can just break the ends off, and minor grinding, and it is clean. When U drill all of the holes, they enedup needing to be filled someway, and welding them all can get annoying. It the dent is real tuff, some heat could help ease the process.

I'm not an expert, just slept well last night!

You need to get a nail gun to pull the dents out, drilling holes and then using body filler will crack and fall off in a few years (moister attacks it from the back side). If you have a large dent and can't get it out use fiberglass filler (long. or short strand) and then regular light weight filler to finish it and you shouldn't have to worry about it.
