Dent Removal Tactics

There are many ways for vehicles to sustain dents, such as stones or road debris kicked up by passing vehicles, collisions with other vehicles or such as garage doors or kids' bicycles. Even weather can cause dents in the case of hail or wind-blown objects such as tree limbs.  But no matter how the dents are sustained, there are well-developed techniques for removing them so the car or truck will appear as good as new.

The methods for dent removal depend upon several factors.  The first and foremost factor is the severity of the dent.  This factor also carries with it something of a cost-benefit analysis.  A very severe dent which has damaged the underlying internal support structure for that car's body panel or bumper, or which has severely distorted the metal, may make repairs impossible or cost-prohibitive.  In such cases the body panel or bumper needs to be replaced with a new or used piece.  But most dents are repairable by a trained, skilled technician.

One of the least costly and least intrusive methods for removing dents is to use paintless dent removal methods.  These methods can be used on smaller dents which have not severely damaged or chipped the paint and have not stretched the metal too severely.  Sometimes the dented metal can be expertly repaired but the object which dented it has marred or chipped the paint.  In such cases the paint can typically be repaired by a well-trained technician.

If a dent is too severe for non-intrusive removal methods, but not so severe that the body panel or bumper must be replaced, then traditional bodyworking processes are utilized.  This typically includes pounding out the dent from behind or drilling a small hole in the center of the dent and pulling it the dent outward using a slide-hammer.  Final smoothing of the surface is achieved by using plastic or resin-based body fillers to fill in the dent, sanding the body filler flush with the surrounding surface, then priming and painting the area to blend the new paint into the old finish.  This dent removal method is effective but much more costly.

The Dent $10.99 "This story is pure fiction; it is not about someone I know. It is about that family we have all known at least one time in our lives. That family struggling, scared, alone, abandoned and desperate all or one of the above. It is about that family or person that makes me feel so ashamed when I think how I have complained to God about the slightest discomfort in my life. It is not my purpose to reveal the ending of this story but I will tell you it has a happy ending. This story will touch your heart and stir your emotions. If is doesn't check your pulse. After helping sell children's books for about ten years, I decided to try my hand at writing. It has been such a joy. I couldn't wait to get home in the evening to continue my writing. I could not have written this book without God's help. When you finish reading this book you will want to read it again, and you will tell your friends about it. Begin reading now and enjoy your journey."

HAMMER! $19.95 HAMMER! is the first book by influential filmmaker Barbara Hammer, whose life and work have inspired a generation of queer, feminist, and avant-garde artists and filmmakers. The wild days of non-monogamy in the 1970s, the development of a queer aesthetic in the 1980s, the fight for visibility during the culture wars of the 1990s, her search for meaning as she contemplates mortality in the past ten years—HAMMER! includes texts from these periods, new writings, and fully contextualized film stills to create a memoir as innovative and disarming as her work has always been.
