how to take a nipple size ding out of a fender for a dodge ram truck?

Question

the ding is on the top on the curve or seem

Answer 1

Had one of those nasty dings on the rear drivers panel on my 04 Dodge Ram CTD. I took it to a "Paintless Dent Removal shop" and it cost me $75.00 and he just massaged the dent out along the crease. I was floored as it only took 2 hours to fix.



It would have cost me $900 at a autobody shop to remove my bushwacker flares, box caps, tail light and mud flap and remove the dent and re-paint.

Answer 2

You need a hammer and a dolly.



seeing how the ding is on the top of the fender and on a curve - there is a low chance of getting it out without a paint job on the fender.



I would try to do the paint less first - but I don't think it would do it - on the curve.

Your best bet would probably be to have a pro do it! you can try to take a block of wood and hold it over the ding and tap from inside out with a rubber mallet to pop it out. But because its on a roll in the body you might want a pro to do it cause they have the proper tools. Good luck! And sorry about the dent.

Answer 4

It depends on whose nipple you used to measure the ding. If you used yours, a small piece of dry ice held over the ding will pop it out. If you used your girlfriend's, probably a grind and fill and repaint will be necessary.

Answer 5

if you have a local hail dent removal shop they can take care of it for about $20 some times if it's only one they will be nice guys and not charge you.
