well its compressed CO_2_ i don't think it that will damage your paint job.....but i could be wrong =(
it's not the CO2 that will cause paint problems but it's the "flexing" of the metal when poping back out that may cause the paint to crack or chip.

i got a new fender painted and already someone's opened their door on it, can't really see it, but it's an eye sore to me. i might have to try this out.

I have a small ding but I'm a little worried trying this out. It is hardly noticeable and I don't want to make it any worse. I will try it on my beater car first and let you guys know.

^ my cousin is coming in on Wednesday. He has a rather large dent on the side that looks similar to the one in the video. So we are going to give it a try when he gets here. I actually did try it on a small dent on my car. I am also undecided if smaller dents actually need to be taken out by a paintless dent process. I am not sure if the hairdryer makes it quite hot enough. But I am not sure if anything hotter would cause the paint to bubble. Going to try a different hair dryer. I should know by Thursday how it works out

That would be negative.

I tried it on my mom's camry. I wanted to take out a small door ding the size of a quarter.

Didn't work.
