Re: Deer hit the talon.....

How the heck is a heat gun going to pop out a metal dent? lol wtf

It looks the you just have to replace the fender, look how bent up it is where it meets the door. Not sure if that one can ever be PDRed back to look 100% perfect.

Sucks that you have to match a new one now.

Heat from a torch can massage a dent but then you risk ruining the paint. I said I doubt it would work but he could try a heat gun, it would be safer on the paint and would be an easy thing to try.

Where the dender meets the door is a very weak spot and can be bent quite easily with the fender off. Would be a lot of guessing and checking to get it to work but could be done.

If the dent on the door is infront of the handle, that doesn't look easy. Looks like one of those you will push out/pop back in type of dents. Need the metal to contract.

The heat would help keep the paint from cracking and flaking off, no?


That really sucks to hear Andy. At least you'll be at the cookout with it.
