How to Repair Paint Dents?
2 Answers
Since the car's exterior is made of a combination of sheet metal and plastic materials, the principle of thermal expansion and contraction can be applied by heating the dented area. Boil a large bucket of hot water and repeatedly pour it over the dented area. Once the dented area has been heated sufficiently, you can push it outward from the engine hood area with your hand, gradually restoring it to its original shape.
When I encountered small dents on my car's paint surface before, I found it quite effective to try fixing them myself. I used a hairdryer to heat the dented area to soften the paint, then gently pulled it out bit by bit with a specialized paintless dent repair tool, being careful to avoid scratching the paint. The whole process requires patience, taking about half an hour to restore it to its original condition. The tools are quite cheap to buy online, costing just a few dozen yuan. Remember to clean the surface first to ensure there's no dust. This method is suitable for small dents, doesn't damage the original paint, saves a lot of money, and also gives you some hands-on experience. Last time, when a stone hit my car while parked by the roadside, I fixed it this way and found it quite practical. For prevention, choose safe parking spots away from trees to reduce the chance of accidental impacts.
