dry ice dent removal

i have this dent on my hood the size of a hand probably and its looks pretty bad in my opinion, but the paint is still in good shape....i heard dry ice would do the trick and pop the dent out....has anybody done this or heard of this....????....how would i go about doing this???

I've never heard of that but I have heard of putting a plunger on the dent and using it to pull the dent out. As far as the dry ice goes I have no idea whether that would work or not. Is the dent where you can get to it from the underside of the hood? If it is then I'd try to push the dent out from the underside of the hood with something.

plunger...i've never heard that either...sounds like it could work though...kinda funny looking with a plunger on your hood huh?...haha

Yeah it would definitely be funny looking. :hehe:

yeah, it would be pretty funny looking, but I've heard that works as well. So its worth giving it a try right?

I've done that plunger thingie. It works! http://forums.off-topic.net/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif

the plunger it is!!...kinda anxsy about using a plunger on my car...haha...anybody use dry ice?...anyone????

Ya know... Every once in a while I notice a dry ice dent removal thread and I don't pay too much attention to because I've never tried it. Anyway... How much does dry ice even cost!? Moreover, where in the hell do you get that stuff!? :confused:

hit the hood from underneath with a rubber mallet. slowly but surely it should come out.

i don't know where to buy dry ice...
