Various sizes of hooks and a small hammer can be used for this repair, but it largely depends on the technician's skill and patience. Body repair and painting is a car restoration technique that involves fixing the deformed parts of the car's metal shell, restoring it to its original shape through metalworking.
Methods to repair dents on car doors, I have had multiple experiences with this, small dents can be fixed by yourself. First, wash the dented area with soapy water to ensure the surface is clean and free of dust, so that the adhesive tools will be more effective. Then use a heat gun or household hair dryer to heat the area around the dent for about a minute, but not too close to avoid burning the paint. After heating, immediately use a can of compressed air to rapidly cool the heated spot; the principle of thermal expansion and contraction will cause the dent to gradually pop out. If the dent is not deep, buy a dent puller kit for about a hundred bucks, like those suction cups with handles you find in supermarkets, stick it on and pull slowly a few times, and it should mostly return to its original shape. Be careful not to use excessive force, otherwise, you might crack the paint, making it harder to repair. After fixing, apply some car wax to protect it and prevent rust caused by wind and rain. Usually, park away from corners or crowded areas to reduce the risk of being hit. Wear gloves and safety glasses during the operation to protect your hands and feet. The total cost is just a few dozen bucks, but for large dents or damaged paint, you’ll need to go to a professional shop.
