I have a dent on one of my wings at the top which is about 1.5" accross and really want to try and push it back out. Has anyone got any tips on doing this? I really don't want to make it any worse.

Hopefully you can see that.

Thin layer of filler ? im not good on this stuff lol

[Adcuz]

It's far too big for filler. I'm trying to avoid doing any painting too much as the paint I have is not an exact match due to the paint on the car has faded.

do you have proper panel beating hammers? if not its gonna be a case of get it up a bit and skim it with filler and paint it

IF YOU CAN GET HOLD OF A PULL HAMMER THAT WOULD GET IT FAIRLY LEVEL BUT WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN BACK TO BARE METAL THEN FILLED .IF YOU ARE TRYING TO AVOID PAINTING A DOLLY HAMMER AND A BIT OF WOOD OR DOLLYS WILL DO IT IF ITS NOT CREASED,ALL DEPENDS HOW GOOD A JOB YOU WANT,

Just an update on this, managed to knock the dent out with a good old fashioned claw hammer with a glove to protect the wing. Not perfect and will need filler though.

Yeah I was gonna say, that'll just about push out. Those dent pullers only really work on flat thin panels, where the dent is quite shallow and not creased or on a swage line.

As you can see.. He's not called PanelbeaterPeter for nothing!!
