Re: [MBZ] DIY Paintless Dent Removal

Got the PDR tools today. Comments: Kit is reasonably complete, I'll also need some alcohol (empty spray bottle included in kit), a glass protector panel to slip inside doors to keep the picks from scratching the glass, a heat gun for warming the paint in sharp creases, some longer picks in

Re: [MBZ] DIY Paintless Dent Removal

Interesting, my HF heat gun has been a trooper, it's heated my boots to put bees wax in, heated the compressor so it'll start when it's cold, defrosted the fridge a couple times while I've been slow about getting parts. I think I paid $10 and it's been well worth it. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail

Re: [MBZ] DIY Paintless Dent Removal

I have a Milwaukee Electric heat gun. The real deal, metal nose on it, etc., not a slightly dangerous hair drier. Two heat settings: hot, and catch-on-filre hot. The lab techs where I used to work would light their cigarettes in the lab with tools like these. (This was a while ago.) -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] DIY Paintless Dent Removal

I have a HF heat gun that has served me well for a number of years. I think I paid $8.00 with a coupon. It got dropped a while back, breaking the back corner on the top which exposes some of the innards, but it still works just fine. -D > On Oct 9, 2017, at 8:42 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes

My Hazard Fraught heat gun died quickly, was replaced with a hair dryer that certainly is not as hot and SWMBO tried to claim it several times (so I've got to hide it well). I move up to a blue wrench if more heat is needed. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300

Re: [MBZ] DIY Paintless Dent Removal

I bought one from HF for $20 that gets VERY HOT! Have used it several times with no problems. YMMV. Gerry Mitch Haley wrote: > Ended up buying this, made a lowball $125 offer, thinking acceptance would be > automated and I'd walk my offer up until they took it. > A half hour after I made my

Re: [MBZ] DIY Paintless Dent Removal

Ended up buying this, made a lowball $125 offer, thinking acceptance would be automated and I'd walk my offer up until they took it. A half hour after I made my $125 offer, they accepted it. If the quality is at all decent, $125 is a very low price for this kit.

One of the youtube channels is mostly a collection of trailers for a video education series. The F1 guy I linked doing the fender/door an an A class has a lot of demo videos, but they're not classroom quality. And I've got several bent body parts laying around to practice on. I can start with

[MBZ] DIY Paintless Dent Removal

I'm getting ready to buy some tools and give this a try, but I'm not ready to shell out $600-1000 for a complete tool kit. If I can get a good start for $200 I'd be happy. I'm thinking of buying this, although I have some reservations about the yellow pull tool for the glue tabs, especially
