I used something called "Ding King" (ordered it from an infomercial), and it actually took the paint off one of my cars that had been repainted years earlier. Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend that product. Take it to a professional paintless dent removal place--the one locally spent 15 minutes and the repair was flawless...

Agreed that it's a "dent".........

DO NOT USE a manual dent remover such as the product "pops-a-dent" which uses suction to pull the dent out. Anytime you come at a dent from the outside it will NEVER even out flush..... let me say again....it will NEVER come out flush.

Paintless Dent Removal or "PDR" is the way to go. The dent is massaged from the inside and reflection is used to make sure that the surface is flush. It's proven and it's flawless when done correctly.

If you really are in Athens, then you should have many auto mechanics. If you ask an auto body repair business they may tell you no, you must use traditional body repair (because they want your business).

Ask some independant auto mechanics about what we call "paintless dent repair" (suck out the dent without having to sand off the paint and then refinish) in your area. This is best done by professionals rather than with a kit that you buy. I have heard that these kits work poorly.

It is not uncommon here to use the "paintless dent repair" service to repair dents that do not break the paint or that do not crease the metal. We might use this sort of repair service when a car has some light damage from a hail storm (you know, ice balls from a thunder storm) or when there is a simple dent from something soft that did not break the paint.

Good luck.

Thank you all guys. I had a look as well on these kits and I really dont wont want to stuck glue on my car!

I will take it to a body shop and have them removed. Its only at a size of a coin.

Thanks for the feedback.
