Default Paintless Dent removal?

My '98 MC LS just acquired a few dents recently: (1) is the size of a half dollar &
the other is size of a dime. Has anyone had good luck with Paintless dent removal?? Being Black, it's real hard to match the paint!

Thanks, Mark in Kansas.

I had a door ding removed from my Challenger, $50. Never knew it was there when done.

We have a PDR guy that comes to our shop quite often. He does great work and usually you can never tell there was ever a dent there. As long as there is no paint damage. BTW black is very easy to match, as long as its non-metallic black and as long as you use the same paint code. Ive panel painted many black cars without any issues with color match.

If the edges of the dent aren't creased you might be able to pop them out yourself. Purchased a can of component freeze from your local radio shack or electronics/computer store. Using a hair dryer, heat the dent and surrounding area, then immediately spray it with the component freeze. The expansion/contraction from the temperature change will pop the dent out. I used this trick to pop a few dents out of my Blazer.

We have a good friend that does paintless dent removal and his nickname is "The Dentist"! He picked out a door ding out of my passenger's side door on the 05.

Because we all know Google is more reliable than actual experience. Im guessing you used wikipedia to write papers in high school?
