Default Re: Repair of Fender Side Trim

Yes they can be hammered back out. I personally would NOT use a sand bag. I use various tools, shapes, materials, files etc etc to get my stainless straight.....ALSO just as important is the amount of time spent getting the shine back after getting the dent out!!!! Here are two things I have done, one is the trim off my 39 Mercury, the other is the beginning stages of repair on my Ford/Mercury hub caps. I have since (these photos) refined my process even more and are getting better finish results!!!! Its hard to tell you ONE hard and fast way of getting it done as I have found the process is constantly changing based from a starting point to the finished product!!!! I can however give you pointer's THE first being SS is a "soft" material SO start with delicate touch BEFORE you increase your strength/vigor!!!


IF you would like to send them to me I will do my best to fix them for you....PM me here on the barn
