Dry Ice For Paintless Dent Removal!!!!

Hey, wtup everyone? My question is probably hella stupid, but i figured I would ask. I heard that you can use dry ice for paintless dent removal. If that is true than right on. I have a few dents down my driver side door, and in the hot hot summer if you take dry ice and run it across the dent, the heat and coldness will expand and pop the dent out? Anyone else heard of this? Thanks for the feedback! L8tz!

Might wanna post in the exterior/bodykits/lighting section. Somebody without a civic might know the answer.

-- DENTS & HAIL DAMAGE
Dry Ice will condense metal and thereby shrink small dents on your car. Place the Dry Ice on the inside of the dent if possible. Use heavy gloves and press flat sheet against dent. If it is not possible to get on the inside concave part of the dent, then using heavy gloves hold the Dry Ice so a corner can fit into the bottom lowest part of the cratered dent. Hold the Dry Ice until the metal is frosted at least 2 inches beyond the dent. Let the metal warm up (in the sun is the best) and repeat the procedure. Sometimes the dent will pop out perfectly. More often it will not be possible to get a flat smooth finish, but the dent will be reduced noticeably. Creased metal will still show the crease line but the dent will be far less pronounced. I have not seen any paint damage, but I'm sure if the paint is not strongly adhered, it could peel away.

I don't know if this atualy works... I've heard tht it only works on steel panels... but hell I don't see what it's gonna hurt to try.

hmm, i should try that on my car...i have some dents on my hood and drivers side fender...

maybe if you just pour like 300 lbs of it on your front end it will take it out. lol
