Cheap way to get out door dings?

I can't look up the link at the moment, but I saw a video where you use a heat gun to heat up the surface, then shoot it with compressed air (upside down so it's cold as hell) .... and BOOM - the dent pops back out.

***NOTE - I have never done this and do not condone it.

I had a friend once who had gotten dents on his passenger door and rear quarter panel. It was an old beater Integra so he didn't mind it too much but still, it was pretty noticeable.

We ended up removing the door panel and separating some of the backseat paneling from the body, and got in there with a rubber tipped hammer to push out the dents from the inside.

Some dents can be pulled out with a bathroom plunger.

Really depends on the type of dent. If it's more of a crease where it really stretched the metal it's much more difficult.

Hot glue a stick to it, and pull?

I guess that's similar to dry ice trick. Wonder if it really works.

I'm gonna try one of those suction cups after heating it up with a blow dryer. Only 10 bucks at advance auto

I don't think it would be a good idea to use a heat gun on paint unless you know exactly what you're doing.

Update: I decided to buy a 2 1/2 inch suction dent remover off amazon. I found bigger ones at the local auto parts shop for 10 bucks, but I didn't need something that big.

I hope this 2 1/2 suction cup has enough power to pull a few dents out. I'm going to wash the car when i get it, then I'm going to blow dry the area for a minute and then try to pull it back in place. I'll take before/after pics

If they are bad i would just buy a new door or fender. Can usually get one from a wrecker cheap, and doors and fenders are easy to swap out. Findning one in the right color can be a pain sometimes though.

When some bitch hit my truck in a parking lot and caved my door in i got a used one from CL for $25(had to swap in my own glass/vent window/door panel/handle etc from old door) and a can of paint in the right color for $12. $37 total and looks like new. Took me less than 3 hours to swap over everything prep and paint.
