Great Job, Chris! Love the vid, as always! What's funny, nice timing, I have to take some dents out of the Jeep DJ that I'm working on! Problem is, the dents are a LOT bigger. They might take a rubber hammer to undo, it's not just gonna be a simple putty-dent repair! (I could also spend some extra money and buy one of those tack-weld dent repair kits)
The repair looks great though! I can't believe how much elbow grease and handwork you use, that's gotta be pretty hard!

How I would do it. / How I see professional do it in my country.
1. Remove inner door trim
2. Use a hammer to push the dent drim the inside ( Pain will crack and it won't be even)
3. Use sand papers to sand the outside paint.
4. Wipe it to remove oils.
5. Apply the body filler. (Used as. Surfacer not as a filler)
6. Sand the fuller down.
7. Prepare for paint.
8 paint.

My biggest fear of tackling something like this is time. Which is limited when you have young kids (too young to help do this. I was thinking however, wouldn't it be possible to do PDR first regardless just to lift up some of the metal so you won't need to patch as big? I mean less filler the better right?

What to do if the dents are huge though? Say you got in a minor traffic accident and the panel is pretty crunched up, instead of getting a new body panel would it be better to take the panel off, punch out the dents, sand and fill the imperfections like in this video, then reinstall?

PERFECT TIMING!

I take it color did not match or the finish was noticably not great. We wanted to see how it matched but you had to emergency wrap your car. It must have not matched very well at all. Win some lose some, its bettet to show errors so everyone learns

That wrap looks clean at the end! I wish I saw this video a few weeks earlier, I just traded in my 05 TL and it had some scratches and dents on it just like these. Could have gotten a little more for it but oh well. Thanks for the great content!

Chris it s kinda crazy working at a shop with old people who think your creating the people who mess it up more for the tech but at the same time inspired people like me the next generation of techs. Cars the movie had a similar effect haha

This is the nicest 24 hours of lemons car I have ever seen most cars are never really worked on and almost every body panel has dents this car looks like it's something used for regular racing it's almost too nice for 24 hours of lemons

This video does not show how to remove dents, it may be removed in theory (pannel appearing straight) but this is just a cheap nasty way to cover up stuff. Get the door card off and knock the dent out with a ball pein like a pro would.

Would be good to know what a professional body shop would have charged to do this and how many hours you put into this. Just thinking by the time you buy all those supplies and the hours put in, a pro shop might come out more favorably.

Chris is a better man than me! I just don t have the patience for body work. This is why I hated working on the airframe on aircraft when I was in the Navy. I loved working on the Power Plant but I found the airframe so tedious.
