Dent Removal

[BlackHawkA4]

These aren't the greatest pics but you get the idea. I want to fix all this crap. I don't want to use bondo if I don't have to. I know I'm going to prob need to use it on the roof but anywhere else I don't need to I don't want to.

Using Bondo on those will yield a worse result than leaving the dents. Find someone who specializes in paintless dent repair, unless you don't mind people drilling holes in your car.

your kidding right? those are fucking tiny ass dings and blemishes besides the door which could be straightened back out and then skimmed with filler. if used properly and the areas prepped well there is absolutely nothing wrong with bondo. its not a show car is it? i doubt it so sand the area down to bare metal just extending the repair area and hit it with a skim coat its exactly what the shits for. paintless dent repair? as far as i can tell all the areas of damage need to be painted/ primed with something anyways so do yourself a favor and buy some damn bondo better yet bondo glass then find a paint that matches as close as possible unless your planning on spending atleast a grand to fix those eye sores.

bondo is bad when used inproperly but when used properly can yield excellent results that will outlast the life of the car and probably even the driver.

http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/...media/414529_1 this for example the little rust spot just behind the door. there is most likely no damage at all to the door all you would have to do is sand off the rust to bare metal and feather the edges of existing paint/ primer hit it with just a tad of bondo if any at all and repaint it.

same with the top from what i can see in the picture..... the damage doesnt look like it exceeds any farther than the through the paint and primer itself. something chipped the paint off and it rusted in that one spot, theres no major dent there and if you just busted out some sand paper and sanded that shit down feathered the edges and repainted it there might not even be a need for bondo. the bottom of the door itself is a different story. with that i would straighten it out as much as possible and skim it with bondo glass.

I agree, if used properly and sparingly, bondo is acceptable. I've used quite a bit myself. I wouldn't just slap bondo over those areas, though. I can't tell from those pics, they're a little dark.

You don't have to have a show car to do things the right way.

i also agree, but paintless dent repair is for a new car like your merc it is for dents and dings that havent disrupted the beautiful paint job of your brand new paint job/spanking new car.. the area of paint cannot be damaged with paintless dent repair or its a waste of money IMO. you could get the same results with a broomstick through the door panel a little filler and a shot of primer when the damaged areas paint is gone.

bondo works best 1/4 inch thick or less. It must be backed with something were the weather cant get to the back side. The more expensive metal bondo lasts longer. Hole that can be axcessed from the back side. clen up the rust JB weld some metal to the backside . seal it and bondo the front side.

Paintless dent repair is good.

I may take it to one just to remove the little dings on my car, and get the bodyshop to work on the 1/2 panel...

I just want to get this shit out. Wether I do it or not I'm going to paint it myself. I got the gun and everything.
