Paintless Dent Removal --- is it safe?

working with metal is not an exact science. Sometimes the dent pops out perfectly and you cannot tell it is there. Other times the dent pops out perfect, but you can still see the outline of the ding for what ever reason. I had a body shop estimate a dent repair at 350 dollars in 1992 I want home, got a four foot chunk of 4x4 fence post and a 6 lb sledge hammer and pounded the corner of a pointed section of fender over the taillight back out opposite of the way it was pushed in, with me holding the wood and directing a friend to smack the other end. In 45 minutes it looked almost perfect. I went back to the same body shop, and the estimate went to 50 bucks (no paint) The chance you take is that the ding pops out, but there may be a faint outline. I understand your concerns about the window, but no one wants to cause more damage to fix than its worth, so Im sure the person will be careful around the window. Dents are a part of car ownership, I park away from other cars in parking lots because that's where most dents happen. I look at dents kind of like badges of honor because it is very difficult to pwn a car, and not get any dings. Rather than make my wallet slimmer, I learn to live with little ones, after all, I had my sliding door on my van repainted, parked where no onre would hit it, and of course some individual dieing of liver failure for drinking to hard, runs a lawn mower handle into freshly painted door and scratches it. What can you do? stuff happens, that life. give it a week or so, it is going to be a lot less important.
